Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Orphan receptor. Could be a receptor for trace amines. Trace amines are biogenic amines present in very low levels in mammalian tissues. Although some trace amines have clearly defined roles as neurotransmitters in invertebrates, the extent to which they function as true neurotransmitters in vertebrates has remained speculative. Trace amines are likely to be involved in a variety of physiological functions that have yet to be fully understood.

Subcellular Localization

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in kidney and amygdala. Not expressed in other tissues or brain regions tested. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11459929}.
