UniProt functional annotation for P48546

UniProt code: P48546.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: This is a receptor for GIP. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase.
 
Subunit: May form homodimers and heterodimers with GLP1R. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17715056, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22412906}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Ptm: N-glycosylation is required for cell surface expression and lengthens receptor half-life by preventing degradation in the ER. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22412906}.
Similarity: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 2 family. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=CAA57426.1; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
