UniProt functional annotation for Q14833

UniProt code: Q14833.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: G-protein coupled receptor for glutamate. Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of down-stream effectors. Signaling inhibits adenylate cyclase activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7617140, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8738157, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9473604}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with PICK1. {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7617140, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8738157}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7617140, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8738157}.
Tissue specificity: Strongly expressed in the cerebellum. Expressed at low levels in hippocampus, hypothalamus and thalamus. No expression detected in liver. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7617140, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8738157}.
Similarity: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 3 family. {ECO:0000305}.
