Primary Identifier | MGI:2140712 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 230085 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable transcription corepressor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain; gamma-aminobutyric acid signaling pathway; and regulation of GABAergic synaptic transmission. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and synaptic vesicle membrane. Is expressed in male reproductive gland or organ; nervous system; retina; and small intestine. Orthologous to human PHF24 (PHD finger protein 24). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele develop a selective and prolonged mechanical hypersensitivity in models of inflammation and neuropathy and show impaired baclofen-mediated analgesia following nerve injury.
