description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within long-term memory and visual learning. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in intraembryonic coelom; midgut; reproductive system; and urogenital sinus. Orthologous to human LRRN4 (leucine rich repeat neuronal 4). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutant mice exhibit impaired memory retention in hippocampus- dependent learning tasks such as contextual conditioning and spatial learning. [provided by MGI curators] |
