Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables prostaglandin E receptor activity. Involved in positive regulation of fever generation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; bicarbonate transport; and fever generation. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and integumental system. Orthologous to human PTGER3 (prostaglandin E receptor 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit increased basal renal blood flow, decreased resting renal vascular resistance, impaired duodenal bicarbonate secretion and mucosal integrity, and impaired responses to endotoxin.
