Primary Identifier | MGI:1351339 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 108068 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables calcium channel regulator activity and group II metabotropic glutamate receptor activity. Involved in presynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within gene expression; intracellular glutamate homeostasis; and long-term synaptic depression. Located in neuron projection. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in brain; cerebellum internal granule cell layer; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human GRM2 (glutamate metabotropic receptor 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display subtile behavioral modifications and moderate abnormalities in long term depression and EPSP in the hippocampus.
