Tissue Distribution
Ubiquitously expressed in the brain, microglia, spleen and bone-marrow-derived dendritic cells. Highly expressed in the epididymis, testis and hypothalamus.
Species:  Mouse
Technique:  RT-PCR
References:  1
Tissue Distribution Comments
Lee et al. reported that no transcripts of GPR82 were detected by Northern blot analysis in the human frontal cortex, caudate putamen, thalamus, hypothalamus, hippocampus, pons and liver tissue [2].

Physiological Consequences of Altering Gene Expression
Mice with Gpr82 knockout have a lower body weight and body fat content associated with a reduced food intake. In addition, mice with Gpr82 knockout show decreased serum triacyglyceride levels, higher insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance.
Species:  Mouse
