Primary Identifier | MGI:96663 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 16494 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable delayed rectifier potassium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in action potential and potassium ion transmembrane transport. Located in axon terminus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; hindlimb muscle; neural retina; and trigeminal nerve. Orthologous to human KCNA6 (potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily A member 6). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in an increased thermal nociceptive threshold and in females an increase in circulating triglyceride levels. [provided by MGI curators] |
