Primary Identifier | MGI:108471 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 18203 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein-N-terminal asparagine amidohydrolase activity. Acts upstream of or within adult locomotory behavior and memory. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human NTAN1 (N-terminal asparagine amidase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice exhibit behavioral and learning defects including abnormal spontaneous activity, impaired spatial memory, and reduced exploratory activity in the presence of conspecifics.
