Primary Identifier | MGI:1334445 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 12891 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables phosphatidylserine binding activity. Involved in cellular response to calcium ion and postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton organization. Located in several cellular components, including axon; clathrin-coated endocytic vesicle; and dendrite. Is expressed in brain; future brain; and hippocampus. Orthologous to human CPNE6 (copine 6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit impaired synaptic plasticity, reduced long term potentiation, and deficits in hippocampus-dependent learning and memory.
