| Primary Identifier | MGI:2684729 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 217843 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Acts upstream of or within behavioral response to ethanol and suckling behavior. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of voltage-gated sodium channel complex. Orthologous to human UNC79 (unc-79 subunit of NALCN channel complex). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation results in lethality within the first week after birth, mostly at P0 or P1. Pups fail to nurse and have no milk in stomachs resulting in weakness, inactivity and no weight gain. [provided by MGI curators] |
