Full name: neurotensin receptor 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: PROVISIONAL

Also known as: NT-1R; NTR-1; NTR1

Summary: Predicted to enable G protein-coupled neurotensin receptor activity; identical protein binding activity; and protein N-terminus binding activity. Acts upstream of or within adult locomotory behavior. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including dendrite; perikaryon; and symmetric synapse. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; gallbladder; intestine; and male reproductive gland or organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in schizophrenia. Orthologous to human NTSR1 (neurotensin receptor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
