Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 258832 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable odorant binding activity and olfactory receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of smell. Predicted to act upstream of or within G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and sensory perception of smell. Predicted to be active in membrane. Orthologous to human OR12D3 (olfactory receptor family 12 subfamily D member 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice show decreased diet-induced obesity and hepatic steatosis and improved glucose homeostasis in response to a high-fat diet. [provided by MGI curators] |
