Primary Identifier | MGI:894312 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 12922 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables corticotrophin-releasing factor receptor activity and hormone activity. Acts upstream of or within G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and negative regulation of angiogenesis. Predicted to be located in cell body fiber; perikaryon; and varicosity. Predicted to be active in axon terminus; dendrite; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and integumental system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma. Orthologous to human CRHR2 (corticotropin releasing hormone receptor 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous inactivation of this gene may result in hypersensitivity to stress, increased anxiety-like behavior, abnormal homeostatic responses to challenges of increased dietary fat and cold, and cardiovascular abnormalities, including hypertension and decreased cardiac contractility.
