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. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; positive regulation of synapse assembly; and regulation of neurotransmitter receptor localization to postsynaptic specialization membrane. Is active in several cellular components, including photoreceptor ribbon synapse; postsynaptic density; and presynaptic active zone cytoplasmic component. Is expressed in brain. Used to study non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability 1. Orthologous to human IQSEC2 (IQ motif and Sec7 domain ArfGEF 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice heterozygous or hemizygous for a null allele exhibit spontaneous seizures, hyperaticvity, altered anxiety and fear responses, decreased social interactions, delayed learning capacity and decreased memory retention/novel recognition.
