UniProt functional annotation for P35400

UniProt code: P35400.

Organism: Rattus norvegicus (Rat).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus.
 
Function: G-protein coupled receptor activated by glutamate that regulates axon outgrowth through the MAPK-cAMP-PKA signaling pathway during neuronal development (By similarity). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide- binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase that it inhibits. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q14831, ECO:0000269|PubMed:33500274, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8145723, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8288585}.
 
Subunit: Homodimer (By similarity). Interacts with PICK1. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q14831, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11122333}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q14831}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q14831}.
Tissue specificity: Widely distributed throughout the brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8145723, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8288585}.
Similarity: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 3 family. {ECO:0000305}.
