Primary Identifier | MGI:3031227 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 258463 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable olfactory receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of smell. Predicted to act upstream of or within G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and sensory perception of smell. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human OR2Y1 (olfactory receptor family 2 subfamily Y member 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit urinary glucose wasting and improved glucose tolerance.
