Primary Identifier | MGI:1096364 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 14427 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable galanin receptor activity; neuropeptide binding activity; and peptide hormone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of cortisol secretion; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in adrenal gland; alimentary system; male reproductive gland or organ; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nicotine dependence and opiate dependence. Orthologous to human GALR1 (galanin receptor 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene does not appear to result in a phenotype. [provided by MGI curators] |
