Primary Identifier | MGI:1929501 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 65106 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable transmembrane transporter binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of L-glutamate import across plasma membrane. Acts upstream of or within with a negative effect on L-glutamate import across plasma membrane and protein localization to plasma membrane. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including L-glutamate transmembrane transport; cellular response to oxidative stress; and glutathione metabolic process. Is active in plasma membrane and presynaptic cytosol. Is expressed in cerebral cortex subventricular zone; cerebral cortex ventricular layer; and cortical plate. Orthologous to human ARL6IP5 (ARF like GTPase 6 interacting protein 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased resistance to oxidative stress hypoactivity, enhanced motor coordination and learning, and enhanced spatial working memory.
