UniProt functional annotation for Q96LB1



	UniProt functional annotation for Q96LB1

UniProt code: Q96LB1.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).

Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.

Function: Mast cell-specific receptor for basic secretagogues, i.e. cationic amphiphilic drugs, as well as endo- or exogenous peptides, consisting of a basic head group and a hydrophobic core (PubMed:25517090). Recognizes and binds small molecules containing a cyclized tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ), such as non-steroidal neuromuscular blocking drugs (NMBDs), including tubocurarine and atracurium. In response to these compounds, mediates pseudo-allergic reactions characterized by histamine release, inflammation and airway contraction (By similarity). Acts as a receptor for a number of other ligands, including peptides and alkaloids, such as cortistatin-14, proadrenomedullin N-terminal peptides PAMP-12 and, at lower extent, PAMP-20, antibacterial protein LL-37, PMX-53 peptide, beta-defensins, and complanadine A. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q3KNA1, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15823563, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21441599, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22069323, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23698749, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24930830, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25517090, ECO:0000305|PubMed:12915402}.

Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}.

Tissue specificity: Mainly expressed in mast cells. Has a limited expression profile, both peripheral and within the central nervous system, with highest levels in dorsal root ganglion (PubMed:12915402). Detected in blood vessels, scattered lymphocytes, and gastrointestinal ganglia (at protein level) (PubMed:16161007). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12915402, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16161007}.

Similarity: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Mas subfamily. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00521}.
