Primary Identifier | MGI:1100497 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 13447 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables calcium ion binding activity and syntaxin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of insulin secretion; protein localization; and synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Acts upstream of or within spontaneous neurotransmitter secretion. Located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; paravertebral ganglion; and retina. Orthologous to human DOC2B (double C2 domain beta). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit a reduced frequency of spontaneous neurotransmitter release events with cerebellar Purkinje cells showing continuous spiking without interruption.
