Primary Identifier | MGI:88144 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 12061 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables peptide binding activity. Acts upstream of or within response to lipopolysaccharide. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; immune system; and liver and biliary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in end stage renal disease; hypertension; and pulmonary fibrosis. Orthologous to human BDKRB1 (bradykinin receptor B1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for one null allele display hypoalgesia and altered inflammatory responses while those homozygous for another are reported to have a normal phenotype.
