| Primary Identifier | MGI:99420 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 17203 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable hormone binding activity and melanocortin receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and regulation of metabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Is expressed in skin. Orthologous to human MC5R (melanocortin 5 receptor). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in a severe defect in water repulsion and thermoregulation due to decreased production of sebaceous lipids. Males exhibit less aggressive and more defensive behavior when placed with wildtype males. [provided by MGI curators] |
