Primary Identifier | MGI:1891468 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 107515 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including metanephric nephron development; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial cell proliferation involved in renal tubule morphogenesis; intestinal stem cell homeostasis; and male genitalia development. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; integumental system; metanephros; and telencephalon. Used to study glaucoma. Orthologous to human LGR4 (leucine rich repeat containing G protein-coupled receptor 4). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a knock-out allele show embryonic and perinatal death, open eyelids, and abnormal renal development. One gene trap mutation leads to reduced body weight, sterility, and impaired male reproductive tract development. Another gene trap mutation causes ocular anterior segment anomalies.
