Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 246313 |
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 receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within circadian rhythm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; hemolymphoid system gland; nose; pharynx; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 3 with or without anosmia. Orthologous to human PROKR2 (prokineticin receptor 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a null allele show 50% neonatal lethality, olfactory bulb malformation, and reproductive system atrophy related to a lack of hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone synthesizing neurons. Homozygotes for another null allele show impaired circadian behavior and thermoregulation. [provided by MGI curators] |
