Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 229791 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable lysophosphatidic acid phosphatase activity and phosphatidate phosphatase activity. Involved in lipid import into cell; regulation of glutamatergic synaptic transmission; and regulation of postsynapse organization. Acts upstream of or within inner ear development. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in genitourinary system; retina; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human PLPPR4 (phospholipid phosphatase related 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced body weight, seizures, hyperexcitability of evoked fEPSP, and premature lethality around 3 weeks of age. [provided by MGI curators] |
