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}.
