| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Enables monoatomic anion channel activity; potassium channel activity; and sodium channel activity. Acts upstream of or within inner ear auditory receptor cell differentiation and locomotory behavior. Located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Is expressed in intestine; sensory organ; and vibrissa. Orthologous to human MCOLN3 (mucolipin TRP cation channel 3). PHENOTYPE: Heterozygotes show normal/diluted/white hair patches, circling, hyperactivity, deafness, and reduced fertility. Homozygotes are white with small patches of color and show severe behavioral abnormalities, poor postnatal viability and are nearly infertile. [provided by MGI curators] |
