Primary Identifier | MGI:1923433 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 76183 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within serotonergic synaptic transmission and vocalization behavior. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; neural ectoderm; sensory organ; stomach; and testis. Orthologous to human CELF6 (CUGBP Elav-like family member 6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased ultrasonic vocalization, decreased brain serotonin levels, and selective behavioral deficits including an abnormal response to novel odor.
