Primary Identifier | MGI:2157521 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 170638 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium channel regulator activity; calcium ion binding activity; and protein domain specific binding activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of signal transduction. Is expressed in central nervous system; male reproductive gland or organ; and tongue. Orthologous to human HPCAL4 (hippocalcin like 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show a mild reduction in acute baseline thermal responses, but no major deficits in pain or itch responses under normal conditions or in the context of tissue or nerve injury.
