Mice exhibit an elevated rate of perinatal lethality (PubMed:17108179). Surviving animals display a strong reduction in evoked glutamergic responses in thalamic neurons (PubMed:17108179). Reduction of protein level in homozygous and heterozygous knockouts leads to a graded reduction in the amplitude of the postsynaptic response to single vesicle fusion in thalamic neurons, consistent with a role for this protein in determining quantal size (PubMed:17108179). Decrease in the number of retinal hyaloid vessels at postnatal day 8 as a result of precocious regression (PubMed:30936473). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17108179, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30936473}. |
