Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 71111 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables G protein-coupled receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult feeding behavior; cellular response to zinc ion; and regulation of secretion. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human GPR39 (G protein-coupled receptor 39). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display abnormal glucose homeostasis when fed a high sugar diet. Mice homozygous for a different null allele have accelerated gastric emptying, decreased fasting-induced hyperphagia, and increasedbody weight after oneyear of age. [provided by MGI curators] |
