Primary Identifier | MGI:2148793 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 114229 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables G protein-coupled peptide receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of cell migration; negative regulation of cell population proliferation; and signal transduction. Located in cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and thymus. Used to study hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 8 with or without anosmia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in central precocious puberty 1; hypogonadism; and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 8 with or without anosmia. Orthologous to human KISS1R (KISS1 receptor). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutations result in male and female infertility associated with abnormal sexual maturation and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. [provided by MGI curators] |
