Primary Identifier | MGI:2144865 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 104859 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in protein exit from endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in olfactory epithelium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 49. Orthologous to human TECPR2 (tectonin beta-propeller repeat containing 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit neurodegeneration, abnormal gait, increased mechanical nociceptive threshold, decreased thermal nociceptive threshold, and impaired autophagy.
