Summary: Predicted to enable sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and regulation of metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human GPR6 (G protein-coupled receptor 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Pharmacological evidence of this receptor was found in the brains of mammals and pigeon, but not frog or newt. Bioinfomatics results implicate GPR6 as a possible candidate for the additional WIN55212-2-sensitive receptor.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
