Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 226278 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables G protein-coupled receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; feeding behavior; and hormone metabolic process. Is active in cilium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension. Orthologous to human PRLHR (prolactin releasing hormone receptor).
