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};
