Chromosome | X | NCBI Gene Number | 54645 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity; identical protein binding activity; and ionotropic glutamate receptor binding activity. Involved in regulation of neurotransmitter receptor transport, endosome to postsynaptic membrane. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in heart; lung; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human GRIPAP1 (GRIP1 associated protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout affects long term potentiation in hippocampal neurons resulting in impaired spatial and associative learning and memory. [provided by MGI curators] |
