Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 11549 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables alpha1-adrenergic receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including neuron-glial cell signaling; pilomotor reflex; and positive regulation of smooth muscle contraction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; heart development; and regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure. Located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain and heart. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; heroin dependence; and hypertension. Orthologous to human ADRA1A (adrenoceptor alpha 1A). PHENOTYPE: Mutations in this gene result in hypotension. [provided by MGI curators] |
