Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 214111 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium channel activity and calcium, potassium:sodium antiporter activity. Predicted to be involved in intracellular calcium ion homeostasis; monoatomic cation transmembrane transport; and regulation of synaptic plasticity. Predicted to be located in cell surface. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in brain and eye. Used to study congenital stationary night blindness 1D. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital stationary night blindness 1D. Orthologous to human SLC24A1 (solute carrier family 24 member 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display slow progressive retinal degeneration and develop stationary night blindness. [provided by MGI curators] |
