Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable calcium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in calcium ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within monoatomic cation transport. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in cochlea; liver; nervous system; and retina. Used to study cataract and microphthalmia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract. Orthologous to human TRPM3 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 3).
