Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 18575 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables 3',5'-cyclic-AMP phosphodiesterase activity and 3',5'-cyclic-GMP phosphodiesterase activity. Acts upstream of or within sensory perception of smell. Located in cilium and lysosome. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 74. Orthologous to human PDE1C (phosphodiesterase 1C). PHENOTYPE: Olfactory sensory nerves from homozygous null mice have significantly reduced action potentials in response to odor with slower onset kinetics and a faster response termination.
