| Primary Identifier | MGI:2153041 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 118446 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within myelination and sensory perception of sound. Located in myelin sheath. Is expressed in brain; sciatic nerve; and spinal cord. Orthologous to human GJC3 (gap junction protein gamma 3). PHENOTYPE: Half of homozygotes for a null allele show delayed maturation of hearing thresholds, high-frequency hearing loss, vulnerability to noise damage and demyelination of spiral ganglion neurons. Homozygotes for another null allele show normal sciatic nerve conduction with no auditory or visual deficits. [provided by MGI curators] |
