Primary Identifier | MGI:2137026 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 94045 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables extracellularly ATP-gated monoatomic cation channel activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of calcium ion import across plasma membrane; regulation of skeletal muscle tissue regeneration; and response to ATP. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell surface receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytosol and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including forelimb bud; nervous system; neural ectoderm; olfactory epithelium; and retina. Orthologous to human P2RX5 (purinergic receptor P2X 5). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice exhibit decreased peripheral blood CD8+ lymphocytes and elevated NK cells. Impaired learning/memory during trace aversive conditioning and increased exploratory behavior during open field testing is also seen. [provided by MGI curators] |
