Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 240888 |
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. Involved in adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and negative regulation of smoothened signaling pathway involved in dorsal/ventral neural tube patterning. Located in several cellular components, including cilium; glial cell projection; and recycling endosome. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; and limb. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in medulloblastoma. Orthologous to human GPR161 (G protein-coupled receptor 161). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display complete embryonic lethality during organogenesis, extensive craniofacial abnormalities, ventralization of the neural tube with expansion of the floor plate, absence of limb development, and caudal spina bifida.
