Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.0.0)
Enables peptide YY receptor activity. Involved in negative regulation of eating behavior; negative regulation of neuronal action potential; and negative regulation of peptide secretion. Acts upstream of or within adenylate cyclase-inhibiting G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Located in non-motile cilium. Is active in 9+0 non-motile cilium. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; eye; and metanephros. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Huntington's disease; alcohol dependence; cocaine dependence; nicotine dependence; and obesity (multiple).
