| Function |
May regulate nociceptor function and/or development, including the sensation or modulation of pain. Functions as a specific membrane receptor for beta-alanine. Beta-alanine at micromolar doses specifically evoked Ca(2+) influx in cells expressing the receptor. Beta-alanine decreases forskolin- stimulated cAMP production in cells expressing the receptor, suggesting that the receptor couples with G-protein G(q) and G(i).

| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15037633}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15037633}. Note=Localized at the plasma membrane but internalized into the cytoplasm after treatment with beta-alanine.
