Primary Identifier | MGI:2685072 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 209513 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables 2-phenylethylamine receptor activity and trace-amine receptor activity. Involved in behavioral fear response; chemosensory behavior; and sensory perception of chemical stimulus. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in Grueneberg ganglion; nasal septum; and olfactory epithelium. Orthologous to human TAAR4P (trace amine associated receptor 4, pseudogene). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit impaired olfactory response and aversion to PEA and puma urine. [provided by MGI curators] |
