Primary Identifier | MGI:101848 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 14697 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including G-protein gamma-subunit binding activity; GTPase activating protein binding activity; and protein-folding chaperone binding activity. Predicted to contribute to GTPase activator activity. Acts upstream of or within G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; dark adaptation; and light adaption. Located in nucleus and plasma membrane. Is active in several cellular components, including dendrite; parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse; and synaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; eye; genitourinary system; liver; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intellectual developmental disorder with cardiac arrhythmia. Orthologous to human GNB5 (G protein subunit beta 5). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation are runty and exhibit high preweaning mortality. Survivors are apparently normal, but show prolonged photoresponses and defective adaptation in rod cells. [provided by MGI curators] |
