| UniProt functional annotation for Q8TDS7 | |||
| UniProt code: Q8TDS7. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | May regulate nociceptor function and/or development, including the sensation or modulation of pain. Functions as a specific membrane receptor for beta-alanine. Beta-alanine at micromolar doses specifically evoked Ca(2+) influx in cells expressing the receptor. Beta-alanine decreases forskolin-stimulated cAMP production in cells expressing the receptor, suggesting that the receptor couples with G- protein G(q) and G(i). | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15037633}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15037633}. Note=Localized at the plasma membrane but internalized into the cytoplasm after treatment with beta-alanine. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Mas subfamily. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00521}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=BAC06005.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
