Primary Identifier | MGI:107492 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 18231 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and synaptic cleft. Is expressed in brain; metanephros; and spinal cord mantle layer. Orthologous to human NXPH1 (neurexophilin 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a targeted mutation show no obvious morbidity, premature mortality, or anatomical defects. However, males exhibit sterility and testis abnormalities probably because homologous recombination results in co-insertion of the 5' part of the HSV-TK cassette into the targeted locus.
