UniProt functional annotation for P25116

UniProt code: P25116.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: High affinity receptor for activated thrombin coupled to G proteins that stimulate phosphoinositide hydrolysis. May play a role in platelets activation and in vascular development. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10079109}.
 
Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: Platelets and vascular endothelial cells.
Domain: The cleaved signal peptide may not be degraded and may function as an intracellular angiogenesis inhibitor peptide known as parstatin.
Ptm: A proteolytic cleavage generates a new N-terminus that functions as a tethered ligand.
Ptm: Phosphorylated in the C-terminal tail; probably mediating desensitization prior to the uncoupling and internalization of the receptor. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8955127}.
Similarity: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00521}.
