Primary Identifier | MGI:1924037 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 76787 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in synaptic vesicle docking. Located in acrosomal vesicle. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and presynaptic active zone cytoplasmic component. Is expressed in nervous system; nose; and retina layer. Orthologous to human PPFIA3 (PTPRF interacting protein alpha 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit hyperactivity, reduced synaptic vesicle tethering and docking in hippocampal neurons and impaired synaptic vesicle exocytosis.
