Primary Identifier | MGI:1341787 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 193034 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables calcium channel activity; identical protein binding activity; and temperature-gated ion channel activity. Involved in detection of temperature stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain; monoatomic ion transmembrane transport; and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including diet induced thermogenesis; fever generation; and sensory perception of chemical stimulus. Located in neuron projection and plasma membrane. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; cochlea; dorsal root ganglion; and eye. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in migraine. Orthologous to human TRPV1 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice demonstrate abnormal nociception, abnormal anxiety- and conditioning-related behaviors, increased sensitivity to DOCA-salt-induced renal damage, resistance to diet-induced obesity, altered taste sensitivity, and impaired febrile response.
