Primary Identifier | MGI:1923626 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 76376 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables calcium channel activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including learning or memory; neuron cellular homeostasis; and regulation of synaptic plasticity. Located in membrane. Is active in postsynapse and presynapse. Is expressed in lens; lens epithelium; and lens fiber. Orthologous to human SLC24A2 (solute carrier family 24 member 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in loss of long term potentiation and an increase in long term depression and deficits in motor learning and spatial working memory.
