Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 13488 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables G protein-coupled receptor activity and dopamine neurotransmitter receptor activity, coupled via Gs. Involved in adenylate cyclase-activating dopamine receptor signaling pathway; modification of postsynaptic structure; and presynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including central nervous system development; learning or memory; and modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Located in several cellular components, including dendritic spine; endoplasmic reticulum; and nucleus. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and synaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Used to study Huntington's disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension and kidney failure. Orthologous to human DRD1 (dopamine receptor D1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted mutations show variably abnormalities that may include growth retardation, death after weaning unless given hydrated food, nonresponsiveness to dopamine D1 receptor agonists and antagonists, and normal to hyperactive locomotor activity.
