Primary Identifier | MGI:1915816 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 68566 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable clathrin light chain binding activity. Involved in postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptor internalization. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in central nervous system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Orthologous to human CALY (calcyon neuron specific vesicular protein). PHENOTYPE: Neurons in homozygous null mice have defects in clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) that manifests as an absence of long term depression in post-synaptic currents of the hippocampus.
