Primary Identifier | MGI:1330305 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 17364 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables monoatomic cation channel activity. Involved in cellular response to light stimulus. Acts upstream of or within protein localization; retinal rod cell development; and signal transduction. Located in new growing cell tip. Is active in cell tip and dendrite. Is expressed in foregut; reproductive system; and sensory organ. Used to study congenital stationary night blindness 1C. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital stationary night blindness and congenital stationary night blindness 1C. Orthologous to human TRPM1 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants have defects in rod and cone electrophysiology affecting the photoresponses. [provided by MGI curators] |
