| Primary Identifier | MGI:104963 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 18166 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables pancreatic polypeptide receptor activity and peptide YY receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including feeding behavior; glucose metabolic process; and sensory perception of pain. Predicted to be located in axon and synaptic vesicle. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including glutamatergic synapse; neuronal dense core vesicle; and presynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; genitourinary system; immune system; and liver. Used to study obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amphetamine abuse; cocaine abuse; heroin dependence; nicotine dependence; and opiate dependence. Orthologous to human NPY1R (neuropeptide Y receptor Y1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit moderate obesity, mild hyperinsulinemia, reduced activity and energy expenditure, lowered fast-induced refeeding, hyperalgesia, increased neuropathic pain, and resistance to barbiturates.
