AkhR - Adipokinetic hormone receptor

Enables adipokinetic hormone binding activity and adipokinetic hormone receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to starvation; glucose homeostasis; and triglyceride homeostasis. Located in membrane. Is expressed in adult fat body; adult head; adult subesophageal zone; embryonic/larval fat body; and gustatory receptor neurons. Used to study obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 7 with or without anosmia. Orthologous to several human genes including GNRHR (gonadotropin releasing hormone receptor).
