| Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 12311 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables calcitonin receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; negative regulation of ossification; and osteoclast differentiation. Located in acrosomal vesicle and cilium. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; gonad; limb long bone; mammary gland primordium; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in osteoporosis. Orthologous to human CALCR (calcitonin receptor). PHENOTYPE: Haploinsufficiency may result in increased bone density due to increased bone formation. Homozygous inactivation may result in embryonic lethality. Mice homozygous for another disruption allele at this locus show a normal phenotype. [provided by MGI curators] |
