Primary Identifier | MGI:1352750 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 29867 |
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 nuclear localization sequence binding activity; transmembrane transporter binding activity; and type 3 metabotropic glutamate receptor binding activity. Involved in modification of postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton and visual perception. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in adrenal gland; genitourinary system; nervous system; stomach; and vascular system. Orthologous to human CABP1 (calcium binding protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knockout allele are viable and fertile and show no apparent motor deficits, but they are affected in the transmission of responses to light through the retinal circuits.
