Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in regulation of protein catabolic process at presynapse, modulating synaptic transmission and regulation of synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Acts upstream of or within behavioral fear response. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; brain; genitourinary system; gut; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human FBXL20 (F-box and leucine rich repeat protein 20). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit some embryonic lethality, shortened lifespans, decreased body size and altered CNS synaptic transmission. [provided by MGI curators] |
