| Primary Identifier | MGI:1336200 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 15444 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including actin binding activity; calcium ion binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within inner ear development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including dendrite; neuronal cell body membrane; and perikaryon. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Is expressed in ganglia; salivary gland primordium; and telencephalon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in torsion dystonia 2. Orthologous to human HPCA (hippocalcin). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice exhibit an age-dependent increase in neurodegeneration in the hippocampus and the cortex. [provided by MGI curators] |
