| UniProt code: Q99788. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Receptor for the chemoattractant adipokine chemerin/RARRES2 and for the omega-3 fatty acid derived molecule resolvin E1. Interaction with RARRES2 induces activation of intracellular signaling molecules, such as SKY, MAPK1/3 (ERK1/2), MAPK14/P38MAPK and PI3K leading to multifunctional effects, like, reduction of immune responses, enhancing of adipogenesis and angionesis. Resolvin E1 down- regulates cytokine production in macrophages by reducing the activation of MAPK1/3 (ERK1/2) and NF-kappa-B. Positively regulates adipogenesis and adipocyte metabolism. Acts as a coreceptor for several SIV strains (SIVMAC316, SIVMAC239, SIVMACL7E-FR and SIVSM62A), as well as a primary HIV-1 strain (92UG024-2). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15728234, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15753205, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20044979, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9603476}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15728234, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16863918}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15728234, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16863918}. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Prominently expressed in developing osseous and cartilaginous tissue. Also found in adult parathyroid glands. Expressed in cardiovascular system, brain, kidney, gastrointestinal tissues and myeloid tissues. Expressed in a broad array of tissues associated with hematopoietic and immune function including, spleen, thymus, appendix, lymph node, bone marrow and fetal liver. Among leukocyte populations abundant expression in monocyte-derived macrophage and immature dendritic cells (DCs). High expression in blood monocytes and low levels in polymorphonuclear cells and T-cells. Expressed on endothelial cells. Highly expressed in differentiating adipocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14530373, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15728234, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15753205, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18242188, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20044979, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8976386}. | |
| Developmental stage: | Expressed during bone development. | |
| Induction: | Up-regulated by inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IFN- gamma in monocytes. Up-regulated by TNF-alpha, IL-1-beta and IL-6 in endothelial cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14530373, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15753205, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20044979}. | |
| Miscellaneous: | [Isoform A]: May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00521}. | |
