Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 14695 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable GTPase binding activity; signaling receptor complex adaptor activity; and spectrin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell volume homeostasis; regulation of fat cell differentiation; and regulation of lipid metabolic process. Located in dendrite. Part of heterotrimeric G-protein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; eye; ganglia; gut; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in artery disease (multiple); congenital stationary night blindness 1H; depressive disorder; familial hyperlipidemia; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human GNB3 (G protein subunit beta 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit abnormal light ON response and synaptic maintenance. [provided by MGI curators] |
