Primary Identifier | MGI:2685450 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 239766 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable olfactory receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of bitter taste; protein insertion into membrane; and protein targeting to membrane. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cell surface. Orthologous to human RTP1 (receptor transporter protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit infertility and abnormal olfactory bulb development. [provided by MGI curators] |
