Primary Identifier | MGI:1890615 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 406218 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable gap junction channel activity and structural molecule activity. Acts upstream of or within response to ischemia. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; male reproductive gland or organ; nervous system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Orthologous to human PANX2 (pannexin 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit a slight protection from the neurological defects induced by ischemic brain injury. [provided by MGI curators] |
