Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 241070 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor activity; adipokinetic hormone receptor activity; and peptide binding activity. Involved in glucose homeostasis. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in neuron projection. 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] |
