Mouse Gene Set: GOBP_THERMOCEPTION

For the Human gene set with the same name, see GOBP_THERMOCEPTION

Standard name GOBP_THERMOCEPTION
Systematic name MM8599
Brief description The series of events required for an organism to receive a temperature stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Thermoception in larger animals is mainly done in the skin; mammals have at least two types of sensor, for detecting heat (temperatures above body temperature) and cold (temperatures below body temperature). [GOC:ai, Wikipedia:Thermoception]
