| Function: | |
Receptor for 3-OH-octanoid acid mediates a negative feedback regulation of adipocyte lipolysis to counteract prolipolytic influences under conditions of physiological or pathological increases in beta- oxidation rates. Acts as a low affinity receptor for nicotinic acid. This pharmacological effect requires nicotinic acid doses that are much higher than those provided by a normal diet. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12522134, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19561068}. |
|

| Subcellular location: | |
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. |
| Tissue specificity: | |
Expression largely restricted to adipose tissue and spleen. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12522134}. |
| Similarity: | |
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00521}. |
