Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 11541 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables G protein-coupled adenosine receptor activity. Involved in G protein-coupled adenosine receptor signaling pathway and presynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of chronic inflammatory response to non-antigenic stimulus; positive regulation of cytokine production; and positive regulation of guanylate cyclase activity. Located in plasma membrane. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and gut. Orthologous to human ADORA2B (adenosine A2b receptor). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in low-grade inflammation, augmentation of proinflammatory cytokines and increased leukocyte adhesion to the vasculature.
