| Primary Identifier | MGI:2181726 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 244701 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable melatonin receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cell communication; positive regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle, non-REM sleep; and regulation of transmission of nerve impulse. Predicted to act upstream of or within circadian rhythm. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human MTNR1B (melatonin receptor 1B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable and fertile and display no obvious circadian phenotype. [provided by MGI curators] |
