Primary Identifier | MGI:2441881 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 243407 |
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. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and cellular response to hormone stimulus. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cardiovascular system; cranium; limb; and urinary system. Orthologous to human QRFPR (pyroglutamylated RFamide peptide receptor). PHENOTYPE: Knock-out mice do not show a metabolic phenotype but show no increase in food intake or activity in response to the RFamide QRFP. [provided by MGI curators] |
