UniProt functional annotation for O60896

UniProt code: O60896.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Plays a role in cardioprotection by reducing cardiac hypertrophy and perivascular fibrosis in a GPER1-dependent manner. Transports the calcitonin gene-related peptide type 1 receptor (CALCRL) and GPER1 to the plasma membrane. Acts as a receptor for adrenomedullin (AM) together with CALCRL. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23674134, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9620797}.
 
Subunit: Heterodimer of CALCRL and RAMP3 (By similarity). Interacts with GPER1. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23674134}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23674134}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23674134}. Membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23674134}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23674134}. Note=Moves from intracellular puncta to the plasma membrane in a RAMP3-dependent manner.
Tissue specificity: Strongly expressed in lung, breast, immune system and fetal tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9620797}.
Similarity: Belongs to the RAMP family. {ECO:0000305}.
