Primary Identifier | MGI:2152297 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 114640 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in neuropeptide signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within cAMP biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Orthologous to human PTH2 (parathyroid hormone 2). PHENOTYPE: Both sexes of mice homozygous for a null allele are sterile. Female homozygotes display very small atretic ovaries without follicles while male homozygotes lack postmeiotic germ cells due to a block during prophase of meiosis I and subsequent death of developing spermatocytes.
