Primary Identifier | MGI:2670981 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 240595 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable potassium channel regulator activity. Predicted to be involved in action potential and potassium ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be part of voltage-gated potassium channel complex. Predicted to be active in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; heart; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinal cone dystrophy 3B. Orthologous to human KCNV2 (potassium voltage-gated channel modifier subfamily V member 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit loss of photoreceptors with increased apoptosis and defective photopic and scotopic response. [provided by MGI curators] |
