Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable palmitoyltransferase activity. Involved in regulation of postsynapse assembly. Acts upstream of or within locomotory behavior. Located in mitochondrion. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cardiovascular system; forelimb bud; ganglia; and nose. Orthologous to human ZDHHC8 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 8). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null females display impaired prepulse inhibition and reduced exploration in new environments. Homozygous null males display normal prepulse inhibition and only a slight decrease in exploration. [provided by MGI curators] |
