Primary Identifier | MGI:97596 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 18751 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables calcium channel regulator activity and calcium,diacylglycerol-dependent serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; phospholipase C-activating G protein-coupled acetylcholine receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of cell communication. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to carbohydrate stimulus; intracellular calcium ion homeostasis; and protein phosphorylation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of spectrin. Is active in calyx of Held; plasma membrane; and presynaptic cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; exocrine system; genitourinary system; heart ventricle; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy and lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human PRKCB (protein kinase C beta). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit impaired humoral immune responses, altered proliferative responses of B cells to various stimuli, abnormal vascular wound healing, and deficits in contextual and cued fear conditioning. ENU-induced mutations leadto impaired T cell-independent IgM responses. [provided by MGI curators] |
