Primary Identifier | MGI:97883 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 19674 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables calcium ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within phototransduction; regulation of calcium ion transport; and visual perception. Predicted to be located in dendrite. Is expressed in eye; photoreceptor layer; retina; retina inner nuclear layer; and retina outer nuclear layer. Orthologous to human RCVRN (recoverin). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice exhibit faster flash response recovery in dark-adapted rods, decreased sensitivity of rods to steps of light and altered kinetics of sodium/calcium-potassium exchange in rods.
