Summaries for OXTR Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for OXTR Gene

  • The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor family and acts as a receptor for oxytocin. Its activity is mediated by G proteins which activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. The oxytocin-oxytocin receptor system plays an important role in the uterus during parturition. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

GeneCards Summary for OXTR Gene

OXTR (Oxytocin Receptor) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with OXTR include Alexithymia and Asperger Syndrome. Among its related pathways are Peptide ligand-binding receptors and RET signaling. GO annotations related to this gene include G-protein coupled receptor activity and peptide hormone binding. An important paralog of this gene is AVPR1B.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for OXTR Gene

  • Receptor for oxytocin. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system.

Tocris Summary for OXTR Gene

  • Oxytocin receptors (OT) are G-protein-coupled receptors that mediate parturition and lactation. They are closely related to vasopressin receptors. Oxytocin receptors are coupled to Gq/11 proteins and are localized to the myoepithelial cells of the mammary gland.
