Primary Identifier | MGI:2668412 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | X | NCBI Gene Number | 236781 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables phosphatidylcholine binding activity. Acts upstream of or within insulin secretion. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Is expressed in colon; hypothalamus; and ileum. Orthologous to human GPR119 (G protein-coupled receptor 119). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit normal growth and glucose homeostasis except lowered body weight when fed a low-fat diet and decreased insulin levels post-glucose load.
