Protein Coding Gene : Ucn2 urocortin 2

Primary Identifier  MGI:2176375 Organism  mouse, laboratory
Chromosome  9 NCBI Gene Number  171530
Mgi Type  protein coding gene
description  FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0)

Enables G protein-coupled receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; hormone-mediated signaling pathway; and negative regulation of gonadotropin secretion. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension. Orthologous to human UCN2 (urocortin 2).
PHENOTYPE: Female, but not male, mice homozygous for a null allele show a significant increase in the basal daily rhythms of ACTH and corticosterone, altered drinking and feeding responses, and increased antidepressant-like behavior. Mice homozygous for a second null allele show normal social memory. [provided by MGI curators]
