Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 22354 |
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 peptide receptor activity; peptide hormone binding activity; and vasoactive intestinal polypeptide receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in brain and cerebral cortex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in achalasia. Orthologous to human VIPR1 (vasoactive intestinal peptide receptor 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit prenatal lethality associated with severe neonatal growth failure, enlarged cecum, intestinal hemorrhage, and enterocyte hyperproliferation in addition to disorganized islets and impaired glucose homeostasisin surviving mice.
