Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calmodulin-activated 3',5'-cyclic-GMP phosphodiesterase activity and calmodulin-activated dual specificity 3',5'-cyclic-GMP, 3',5'-cyclic-AMP phosphodiesterase activity. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on dopamine catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including response to amphetamine; serotonin metabolic process; and visual learning. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Orthologous to human PDE1B (phosphodiesterase 1B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display increased exploratory behavior. Learning deficits and hyperactivity are also observed in some situations. [provided by MGI curators] |
