Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables C-C chemokine receptor activity. Involved in chemokine-mediated signaling pathway. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; liver; metanephros; skeletal muscle; and spleen. Orthologous to human GPR75 (G protein-coupled receptor 75). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit a mild progressive retinal degeneration caused by loss of both M-cone and S-cone photoreceptor cells that is accompanied by oxidative stress. Another null allele shows increased anxiety-like behaviors and disrupted fear conditioning recall. Males are resistant age-related gain in body mass. [provided by MGI curators] |
