Primary Identifier | MGI:105374 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 19065 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables pancreatic polypeptide receptor activity and peptide YY receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within neuropeptide signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in neuron projection and plasma membrane. Orthologous to several human genes including NPY4R (neuropeptide Y receptor Y4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit decreased weight, increased drinking behavior, decreased food intake, aggression towards other mice, decreased white adipose tissue, and accelerated lobuloalveolar development during pregnancy.
