Primary Identifier | MGI:3030568 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 258658 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables olfactory receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including glucose homeostasis; positive regulation of appetite; and positive regulation of flagellated sperm motility. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in olfactory epithelium. Orthologous to several human genes including OR4M1 (olfactory receptor family 4 subfamily M member 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit reduced asprosin, fasting and high-fat diet-induced glucose production, decreased sperm progressive motility, and reduced male fertility.
