Primary Identifier | MGI:1931271 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 80706 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable odorant binding activity and olfactory receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within axon guidance. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in main olfactory bulb glomerular layer; main olfactory bulb olfactory nerve layer; and olfactory epithelium. Orthologous to human OR8A1 (olfactory receptor family 8 subfamily A member 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a reporter allele respond heterogeneously to odorants and display abnormal innervation of glomeruli by olfactory sensory axons in the olfactory bulb.
