Oxtr - oxytocin receptor Gene
Also Known as OTR; OT-R; OTR1
Species: Rattus norvegicus
About Oxtr
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 265 orthologues, 16 paralogues and is associated with 25 phenotypes. Biased expression in Adrenal (RPKM 17.2), Uterus (RPKM 11.7) and 7 other tissues.
Summary
Enables Oxytocin Receptor activity and peptide hormone binding activity. Involved in several processes, including ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; positive regulation of synaptic transmission; and regulation of secretion. Located in adherens junction; apical plasma membrane; and microvillus. Used to study gastric ulcer. Biomarker of hypertension. Orthologous to human OXTR (Oxytocin Receptor).
