Primary Identifier | MGI:2445160 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 211468 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity and delayed rectifier potassium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of apoptotic process; potassium ion transmembrane transport; and regulation of membrane potential. Predicted to be part of monoatomic ion channel complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human KCNH8 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 8). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display loss of circadian patterns of neuron firing rates but no disruption of circadian rhythms of locomotor activity. [provided by MGI curators] |
