Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 15566 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables G protein-coupled serotonin receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain; and modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Predicted to be located in axon terminus; neuronal cell body; and synaptic vesicle. Predicted to be active in dendrite; postsynaptic membrane; and presynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; and immune system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol use disorder. Orthologous to human HTR7 (5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele display lower electrically- and chemically-induced seizure thresholds. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele show enhanced coordination and higher thermal nociceptive thresholds. Other nullizygous mutantsfail to exhibit agonist-induced hypothermia.
