Primary Identifier | MGI:105374 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 19065 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables pancreatic polypeptide receptor activity and peptide YY receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be active in neuron projection and plasma membrane. Orthologous to several human genes including NPY4R (neuropeptide Y receptor Y4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit decreased weight, increased drinking behavior, decreased food intake, aggression towards other mice, decreased white adipose tissue, and accelerated lobuloalveolar development during pregnancy.
