Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including adipokinetic hormone binding activity; adipokinetic hormone receptor activity; and neuropeptide binding activity. Involved in glucose homeostasis. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in neuron projection and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; exocrine gland; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system gland. Orthologous to human CMKLR2 (chemerin chemokine-like receptor 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit increased body weight and estradiol serum levels as well as reduced weight loss in DHEA-treated mice. [provided by MGI curators] |
