Primary Identifier | MGI:2183450 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 217369 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable urotensin II receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including neuropeptide signaling pathway; regulation of blood pressure; and regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle. Predicted to be located in early endosome and recycling endosome. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human UTS2R (urotensin 2 receptor). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele display a selective loss of urotensin-II contractile activity in isolated aortae. [provided by MGI curators] |
