Function | Synthesizes the second messagers cyclic ADP-ribose and nicotinate-adenine dinucleotide phosphate, the former a second messenger for glucose-induced insulin secretion. Also has cADPr hydrolase activity. Also moonlights as a receptor in cells of the immune system. |
Subcellular Location | Membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed at high levels in pancreas, liver, kidney, brain, testis, ovary, placenta, malignant lymphoma and neuroblastoma. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9074508}. |
Top Pathways | Hematopoietic cell lineage, Calcium signaling pathway, Salivary secretion, Pancreatic secretion, Epstein-Barr virus infection |
