Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in synapse maturation and trans-synaptic signaling, modulating synaptic transmission. Located in external side of plasma membrane; inhibitory synapse; and presynaptic membrane. Is active in postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; ganglia; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and retina. Orthologous to human IGSF21 (immunoglobin superfamily member 21). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit abnormal differentiation of inhibitory synapses with decreased mIPSC frequency and prepulse inhibition. [provided by MGI curators] |
