Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including metanephric nephron development; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial cell proliferation involved in renal tubule morphogenesis; intestinal stem cell homeostasis; and male genitalia development. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; integumental system; metanephros; and telencephalon. Used to study glaucoma. Orthologous to human LGR4 (leucine rich repeat containing G protein-coupled receptor 4).
