Primary Identifier | MGI:98477 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 21337 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable substance K receptor activity. Involved in regulation of uterine smooth muscle contraction. Predicted to be located in sperm flagellum and sperm head. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane and sperm midpiece. Is expressed in adrenal gland and renal vasculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma. Orthologous to human TACR2 (tachykinin receptor 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele display abnormalities in luteinizing hormone levels in females and increased glucose levels in males on a high fat diet. [provided by MGI curators] |
