Primary Identifier | MGI:1858305 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | X | NCBI Gene Number | 53328 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables heme binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including learning or memory; modification of synaptic structure; and positive regulation of protein localization. Located in mitochondrial outer membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Orthologous to human PGRMC1 (progesterone receptor membrane component 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a conditional allele activated in vomeronasal sensory neurons exhibit constant attraction behavior to recombinant major urinary proteins (rMUPs). in both estrus and diestrus females.
