| 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}. | |
