Ptafr cDNA ORF clone, Mus musculus(house mouse)
Gene Symbol | Ptafr |
Entrez Gene ID | 19204 |
Full Name | platelet-activating factor receptor |
Synonyms | PAFR |
General protein information |
|
Gene Type | protein-coding |
Organism | Mus musculus(house mouse) |
Genome | |
Summary | This gene encodes a member of the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family of proteins. Binding of the encoded protein to its phospholipid ligand, platelet-activating factor (PAF), may regulate the inflammatory response and the perception of pain. Homozygous knockout mice for this gene exhibit impaired anaphylactic response, resistance to bacterial infection, and reduced pain-related behavior. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2015]. |
