Primary Identifier | MGI:3039563 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 242667 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables amyloid-beta binding activity. Involved in modification of postsynaptic structure and modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Located in synapse. Is active in several cellular components, including cholinergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and neuromuscular junction. Is expressed in corpus striatum. Orthologous to human DLGAP3 (DLG associated protein 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit skin lesions associated with excessive grooming, increased anxiety-related behaviors, altered synaptic transmission and abnormal sleep patterns.
