Predicted to enable tachykinin receptor activity. Involved in positive regulation of flagellated sperm motility. Located in sperm midpiece. Implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 11 with or without anosmia.
RGD Description
This gene belongs to a family of genes that function as receptors for tachykinins. Receptor affinities are specified by variations in the 5'-end of the sequence. The receptors belonging to this family are characterized by interactions with G proteins and 7 hydrophobic transmembrane regions. This gene encodes the receptor for the tachykinin neurokinin 3, also referred to as neurokinin B. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
