Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables adenylate cyclase activity. Involved in several processes, including modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; neuroinflammatory response; and positive regulation of CREB transcription factor activity. Acts upstream of or within axonogenesis and long-term memory. Located in cytoplasm and postsynaptic density. Is active in several cellular components, including Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse; and postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 44. Orthologous to human ADCY1 (adenylate cyclase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an insertional or null mutation fail to develop normal patterned distribution of neurons in the brain and display behavioral and learning abnormalities.
