Primary Identifier | MGI:2443409 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 217143 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor activity. Involved in visual perception. Acts upstream of or within protein localization to plasma membrane and response to light stimulus. Located in dendrite terminus. Is active in cell tip; dendrite; and postsynaptic membrane. Used to study congenital stationary night blindness 1E. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital stationary night blindness 1E. Orthologous to human GPR179 (G protein-coupled receptor 179). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit absence of b wave without retinal abnormalities. [provided by MGI curators] |
