Function |
Orphan receptor. Displays a significant level of constitutive activity. Its effect is mediated by G(s)-alpha protein that stimulate adenylate cyclase, resulting in an elevation of intracellular cAMP. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17363172}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in the CNS, the highest expression is seen in the amygdala, hippocampus and thalamus. Weak expression is detected in testis. Down-regulated in glioblastoma. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17363172, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18037267}.
