Primary Identifier | MGI:1261760 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 268890 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within locomotory exploration behavior. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human LSAMP (limbic system associated membrane protein). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for mutations in this gene are hyperresponsive to novel environments. Mice homozygous for another knock-out allele exhibit reduced barbering, whisker trimming, anxiety, dominance, and aggression. [provided by MGI curators] |
