Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 330953 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables intracellularly cAMP-activated cation channel activity. Acts upstream of or within in utero embryonic development; monoatomic cation transport; and regulation of heart contraction. Located in axon. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; future brain; heart; septum transversum; and venous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Brugada syndrome 8; Gilles de la Tourette syndrome; idiopathic generalized epilepsy; and sick sinus syndrome. Orthologous to human HCN4 (hyperpolarization activated cyclic nucleotide gated potassium channel 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene experience embryonic lethality between E9.5 and E11.5. Conditional deletion in cardiac tissue results in severe bradycardia and death. Mice over-expressing the gene exhibit impaired firing rate in ORN, small olfactory bulb and reduced glomeruli. [provided by MGI curators] |
