| UniProt functional annotation for P34995 | |||
| UniProt code: P34995. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Receptor for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The activity of this receptor is mediated by G(q) proteins which activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. May play a role as an important modulator of renal function. Implicated the smooth muscle contractile response to PGE2 in various tissues. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. | |
| Tissue specificity: | Abundant in kidney. Lower level expression in lung, skeletal muscle and spleen, lowest expression in testis and not detected in liver brain and heart. | |
| Ptm: | Phosphorylated. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00521}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=BAC05723.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
