| UniProt functional annotation for P25105 | |||
| UniProt code: P25105. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Receptor for platelet activating factor, a chemotactic phospholipid mediator that possesses potent inflammatory, smooth-muscle contractile and hypotensive activity. Seems to mediate its action via a G protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1281995, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1374385, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1656963, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1657923}. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with ARRB1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16709866}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1374385}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1374385}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Expressed in the placenta, lung, left and right heart ventricles, heart atrium, leukocytes and differentiated HL-60 granulocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1281995, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1656963, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1657923}. | |
| Induction: | By CSF2/GM-CSF, IL5/interleukin-5 and n-butyrate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1657923}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00521}. | |
