Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 194352 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables calcium channel activity. Involved in calcium ion homeostasis; calcium ion transmembrane transport; and regulation of urine volume. Located in apical plasma membrane. Part of calcium channel complex. Is expressed in central nervous system; metanephros; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human TRPV5 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 5). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice exhibit increased calcium excretion and reduced bone thickenss. [provided by MGI curators] |
