Background
This gene was identified by the up-regulation of its expression upon Epstein-Barr virus infection of primary B lymphocytes. This gene is predicted to encode a G protein-coupled receptor that is most closely related to the thrombin receptor. Expression of this gene was detected in B-lymphocyte cell lines and lymphoid tissues but not in T-lymphocyte cell lines or peripheral blood T lymphocytes. The function of this gene is unknown.

Function
caution:It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-5 is the initiator.,function:Orphan receptor. Probable mediator of EBV effects on B lymphocytes or of normal lymphocyte functions. Signals constitutively through G(i)-alpha, but not G(s)-alpha or G(q)-alpha.,induction:By EBV.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,tissue specificity:Expressed abundantly in lymphoid tissues such as spleen and lymph node, and in B- and T-lymphocytes. Also highly expressed in lung, heart and gastrointestinal tract, and weakly expressed in the urogenital system and brain.,
