| Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 18167 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables peptide YY receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within adenylate cyclase-inhibiting G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Located in non-motile cilium. Is active in cilium. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; eye; and metanephros. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Huntington's disease; morbid obesity; and obesity. Orthologous to human NPY2R (neuropeptide Y receptor Y2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit reduced food intake, body weight, and adiposity, elevated plasma pancreatic polypeptide levels, increased cancellous bone volume, and heightened sensitivity to pentobarbital-induced sedation.
