Summary: Enables protein-hormone receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and male gonad development. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; and peritoneum. Used to study cryptorchidism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cryptorchidism. Orthologous to human RXFP2 (relaxin family peptide receptor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
