| Function |
Probable G protein-coupled receptor that is activated by the short chain fatty acids (SCFA) acetate and propionate. In response to SCFA, may positively regulate renin secretion and increase blood pressure (PubMed:23401498). May also be activated by steroid hormones and regulate cell proliferation (PubMed:19389702). May also function as an olfactory receptor being activated by beta-ionone (PubMed:19389702). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19389702, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23401498}.

|
| Tissue Specificity |
Mainly expressed in the prostate. Also expressed in spleen, liver, olfactory epithelium and medulla oblongata. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11707321, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16491480}.
