Primary Identifier | MGI:1337113 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 18440 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable extracellularly ATP-gated monoatomic cation channel activity. Predicted to be involved in calcium ion transmembrane transport. Located in neuronal cell body and nucleus. Is expressed in central nervous system; heart; parathyroid gland; reproductive system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human P2RX6 (purinergic receptor P2X 6). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice exhibit a significant increase in thermal response latency during hot plate testing, and are resistant to metrazol-induced seizures. [provided by MGI curators] |
