Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 234404 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in photoreceptor cell maintenance. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including cerebellum external granule cell layer; neural retina; and olfactory epithelium. Orthologous to human NXNL1 (nucleoredoxin like 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a kncok-out allele exhibit reduced cone numbers, thin outer nuclear layer, impaired visibility and increased vulnerability to hyperoxia-induced damage.
