Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 29873 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Involved in regulation of synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Acts upstream of or within modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; enteric nervous system; and retina. Orthologous to human CSPG5 (chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 5). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display decreased spontaneous postsynaptic currents, increased paired-pulse ratios, and reduced long term depression during early postnatal developmental stages.
