Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 76161 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in presynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite membrane; endosome; and growth cone membrane. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and synaptic vesicle. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; sensory organ; vertebral axis musculature; and vibrissa. Orthologous to human LAMP5 (lysosomal associated membrane protein family member 5). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice show increased susceptibility to PTZ-induced seizures, distinct interneuron loss, dystrophic neurites, delayed habituation in the open field and neuronal network deficits.
