Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 213788 |
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 acetylcholine receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within dopamine transport and transmission of nerve impulse. Predicted to be located in postsynaptic membrane. Predicted to be active in dendrite; plasma membrane; and synapse. Is expressed in central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human CHRM5 (cholinergic receptor muscarinic 5). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null allele exhibit loss of acetylcholine-induced dilation of cerebral arteries, decreased pilocarpine-induced salivation, increased water-deprivation induced drinking, and attenuated morphine reinforcement and withdrawal.
