Rxfp2 - relaxin family peptide receptor 2 Gene

Also Known as Gpcr; Lgr8

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 363866

Summary

Enables peptide hormone binding activity. Involved in several processes, including adenylate cyclase-inhibiting G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; oocyte maturation; and positive regulation of cAMP-mediated signaling. Located in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cryptorchidism. Orthologous to human RXFP2 (relaxin family peptide receptor 2).
