Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in regulation of postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within evoked excitatory postsynaptic potential. Located in presynapse. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in central nervous system; eye; and lip. Orthologous to human BEGAIN (brain enriched guanylate kinase associated). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display abnormal evoked NMDAR excitatory postsynaptic currents, and abnormalities in long-term spatial reference memory, extinction of fear memory and pain thresholds after injury.
