Phenotype triggers

  • normal activity of galanin receptor 1
    in adipose_tissue
    • Galanin mRNA expressed in visceral adipose tissue may be involved in the regulation of feeding and energy balance after fasting. [1]
  • normal activity of GHS-R1
    in arcuate_nucleus_of_hypothalamus
    • Ghrelin activates feeding through fatty acid oxidation and free radical buffering in the NPY/Agrp neurons of the ARC. Ghrelin induces feeding by the activation of its receptor, the G-protein-coupled growth hormone secretagogue receptor, in the NPY/Agrp neurons, which induces a rapid increase in the firing rate of these cells. [2]
  • normal activity of trkB
    in dorsal_root_ganglion
    • TrkB deficient mice display a loss in lumbar dorsal root ganglia. [3]
    • TrkB may play a role in the complex interactions involved in feeding activity of newborn animals. [4]
    • Neurotrophin signaling through trk receptors is important in the development and maintenance of the mammalian nervous system. [4]
  • orexin receptor 1
    in lateral_hypothalamic_area
