Primary Identifier | MGI:3584514 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 574402 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor activity and receptor serine/threonine kinase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of inflammatory response to antigenic stimulus. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; gut; and male reproductive gland or organ. Orthologous to human GPR17 (G protein-coupled receptor 17). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit early differentiation of oligodendroglial progenitor cells and increased myelination without any behavioral or motor deficits. Homozygotes for a different null allele show increased vascular permeability in IgE-dependent passive cutaneous anaphylaxis. [provided by MGI curators] |
