Primary Identifier | MGI:96928 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 17200 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable G protein-coupled 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 several structures, including adrenal gland; brain; hemolymphoid system gland; lung; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in West syndrome and glucocorticoid deficiency 1. Orthologous to human MC2R (melanocortin 2 receptor). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit postnatal lethality due to impaired gluconeogenesis. [provided by MGI curators] |
