Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 14293 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables N-formyl peptide receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within phospholipase C-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in ductus deferens; epididymis; ileum; prostate gland; and testis. Orthologous to human FPR1 (formyl peptide receptor 1). PHENOTYPE: Targeted null mice are viable and developmentally normal but show increased susceptibility to L. monocytogenes challenge, as shown by increased mortality and bacterial burden in liver/spleen early post-infection. Mutant neutrophils fail to respond to fMLF either in calcium flux or chemotaxis assays. [provided by MGI curators] |
