Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable galanin receptor activity; neuropeptide binding activity; and peptide hormone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of cortisol secretion; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within signal transduction. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in adrenal gland; alimentary system; male reproductive gland or organ; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cocaine dependence and heroin dependence. Orthologous to human GALR1 (galanin receptor 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene does not appear to result in a phenotype. [provided by MGI curators] |
