Ptafr - platelet-activating factor receptor Gene
Also Known as PAFR
Species: Mus musculus
About Ptafr
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 223 orthologues, 6 paralogues and is associated with 8 phenotypes. Broad expression in mammary gland adult (RPKM 12.2), subcutaneous fat pad adult (RPKM 7.6) and 16 other tissues.
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]
