Primary Identifier | MGI:97821 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 19293 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in excitatory chemical synaptic transmission; gene expression; and inhibitory chemical synaptic transmission. Located in axon and cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PVALB (parvalbumin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for deletion of this marker show slower cotraction-relaxation of fast twitch muscle and and increased force generation. Abnormalities are also reported in Purkinje cell morphology. [provided by MGI curators] |
