| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable protein-macromolecule adaptor activity. Involved in mitophagy and sensory perception of pain. Located in membrane and mitochondrion. Is active in synaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; gut; nervous system; submandibular gland primordium; and tooth. Orthologous to human NIPSNAP1 (nipsnap homolog 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele treated with nocistatin fail to exhibit suppression of neuropeptide nociceptin/orphanin FQ-induced tactile allodynia. [provided by MGI curators] |
