Primary Identifier | MGI:2388363 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 21906 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables proton channel activity. Involved in cellular response to insulin stimulus; negative regulation of type II interferon-mediated signaling pathway; and proton transmembrane transport. Acts upstream of or within detection of gravity and inner ear morphogenesis. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; inner ear; integumental system; stomach; and thymus. Orthologous to human OTOP1 (otopetrin 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice display vestibular abnormalities associated with absent otoconia. [provided by MGI curators] |
