Primary Identifier | MGI:2147595 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 107239 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ATP hydrolysis activity; carnosine synthase activity; and homocarnosine synthase activity. Involved in carnosine biosynthetic process. Is expressed in alimentary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CARNS1 (carnosine synthase 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout results in age-related decline in the number of olfactory receptor neurons and detection sensitivity for certain odors. [provided by MGI curators] |
