Gene Symbol | Gpr50 |
Entrez Gene ID | 14765 |
Full Name | G-protein-coupled receptor 50 |
Synonyms | H9 |
General protein information |
|
Gene Type | protein-coding |
Organism | Mus musculus(house mouse) |
Genome | |
Summary | This gene encodes a multipass membrane protein that is thought to act as a G protein-coupled receptor. Activity of this protein may be important in neurotransmitter and glucocorticoid signalling. Mutation of this gene causes a decreased ability to maintain a constant body temperature, resulting in torpor, as well as an increased metabolic rate. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2015]. |
