Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables G protein-coupled neurotransmitter receptor activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential and G protein-coupled neurotransmitter receptor activity involved in regulation of presynaptic membrane potential. Acts upstream of or within regulation of G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Part of receptor complex. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; postsynaptic membrane; and presynaptic active zone membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; gut; and inner ear. Orthologous to human KCTD12 (potassium channel tetramerization domain containing 12). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased fear learning of a discrete auditory-conditioned stimulus, increased activity during the inactive (light) phase and increased intrinsic excitability of pyramidal neurons.
