Primary Identifier | MGI:108018 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 18217 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables G protein-coupled neurotensin receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within phospholipase C-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and regulation of membrane potential. Located in membrane. Orthologous to human NTSR2 (neurotensin receptor 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice exhibit abnormal thermal nociception. Mice homozygous for different knock-out allele exhibit increased prepulse inhibition and decreased accoustic startle response. [provided by MGI curators] |
