Primary Identifier | MGI:2441738 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 319239 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable neuropeptide receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of defecation; positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; and righting reflex. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including Harderian gland; alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; and immune system. Used to study sleep disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma; inflammatory bowel disease; newborn respiratory distress syndrome; and rheumatoid arthritis. Orthologous to human NPSR1 (neuropeptide S receptor 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased airway resistance when treated with high concentrations of U-46619. Heterozygosity for p.Y206H mutation leads to shorter sleep periods without sleep deprivation-related memory phenotypes. [provided by MGI curators] |
