Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables voltage-gated calcium channel activity involved in regulation of presynaptic cytosolic calcium levels and voltage-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of presynaptic membrane potential. A structural constituent of presynaptic active zone. Involved in regulation of calcium-dependent activation of synaptic vesicle fusion and regulation of presynaptic membrane potential. Is active in calyx of Held; glutamatergic synapse; and presynaptic active zone cytoplasmic component. Orthologous to human RIMBP2 (RIMS binding protein 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout results in a mild neurological phenotype with changes in the synaptic transmission and plasticity of hippocampal neurons. [provided by MGI curators] |
