2-oxoglutarate receptor 1, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors
2-oxoglutarate receptor 1 (OXGR1) is also known as GPR80, GPR99, or P2Y15. OXGR1 functions as a receptor for alpha-ketoglutarate, a citric acid cycle intermediate, and acts exclusively through a G(q)-dependent pathway. OXGR1 belongs to the class A GPCR superfamily and is phylogenetically related to the purinergic P2Y1-like receptor subfamily, whose members are coupled to G(q) protein to activate phospholipase C (PLC). OXGR1 has also been reported as a potential third cysteinyl leukotriene receptor with specificity for leukotriene E4.
Comment:also based on the structures of some class A family members with bound ligands (peptides or chemicals), agonists, or antagonists
Comment:Small-molecule chemical ligands tend to bind deeper within the receptor core, compared to a peptide ligand neurotensin, which binds towards the extracellular surface of its receptor.
