Background
The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and G protein-coupled receptor. The encoded protein is similar in sequence to another G protein-coupled receptor (GPR7), and it is structurally similar to opioid and somatostatin receptors. This protein binds neuropeptides B and W. This gene is intronless and is expressed primarily in the frontal cortex of the brain. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
function:Interacts specifically with a number of opioid ligands. Receptor for neuropeptides B and W, which may be involved in neuroendocrine system regulation, food intake and the organization of other signals.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,tissue specificity:Detected at high levels in caudate nucleus, hyppocampus and amygdala; at moderate levels in the adult brain, thalamus, parietal cortex, pituitary gland, adrenal gland and lymph nodes.,
