Primary Identifier | MGI:2444886 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 330166 |
Mgi Type | lncRNA gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within neurogenesis and stem cell population maintenance. Located in nuclear body. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; heart; peripheral nervous system; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human MIAT (myocardial infarction associated transcript). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit hyperactivity and an enhanced behavioral response to methamphetamine, associated with increased extracellular levels of dopamine in the nucleus accumbens after methamphetamine treatment.
