Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 14608 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables neuropeptide receptor activity. Involved in feeding behavior; neuropeptide signaling pathway; and phospholipase C-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within response to glucocorticoid. Located in non-motile cilium and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and pectoralis. Orthologous to human GPR83 (G protein-coupled receptor 83). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit normal regulatory T cell development. Mice homozygous for a different targeted allele exhibit attenuated stress-evoked anxiety, increased sucrose preference and delayed spatial learning. [provided by MGI curators] |
