Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 12294 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable voltage-gated calcium channel activity. Involved in regulation of presynapse organization. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and presynaptic active zone membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and immune system. Orthologous to human CACNA2D3 (calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit alpha2delta 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene have a decreased startle reflex and occasional animals show increased aggression and hyperactivity. [provided by MGI curators] |
