Summary
Predicted to enable G protein-coupled peptide receptor activity; ionotropic glutamate receptor binding activity; and peptide hormone binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of blood pressure. Predicted to be located in adherens junction; apical plasma membrane; and microvillus. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; brain; exocrine gland; genitourinary system; and gut. Orthologous to human OXTR (oxytocin receptor).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
