description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable neuropeptide receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in neuronal cell body. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in lung; lung epithelium; lung mesenchyme; pons; and pons mantle layer. Orthologous to human BRS3 (bombesin receptor subtype 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit mild obesity, hypertension, impaired glucose metabolism, reduced metabolic rate, and hyperphagia. [provided by MGI curators] |
