function:Unknown. This G-protein coupled receptor could be involved in modulating differentiation and maintaining homeostasis of epithelial cells. The comparable expression level in fetal lung and kidney with adult tissues suggests a possible role in embryonic development and maturation of these organs. This retinoic acid-inducible GPCR provide evidence for a possible interaction between retinoid and G-protein signaling pathways.,induction:By all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA).,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 3 family.,subcellular location:Localized in the plasma membrane and perinuclear vesicles.,tissue specificity:Expressed at high level in fetal and adult lung tissues. Constitutively expressed in fetal kidney and adult placenta, kidney, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine, colon, stomach, and spinal chord at low to moderate levels. Not detectable in fetal heart, brain, and liver and adult heart, brain, liver, skeletal muscle, pancreas, spleen, thymus, and peripheral leukocytes. According to PubMed:10783259: expressed at low but detectable level in pancreas and heart.,
Cell membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein . Localized in perinuclear vesicles, probably Golgi-associated vesicles. .
Expressed at high level in fetal and adult lung tissues but repressed in most human lung cancers (PubMed:9857033, PubMed:18000218). Constitutively expressed in fetal kidney and adult placenta, kidney, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine, colon, stomach, and spinal cord at low to moderate levels. Not detectable in fetal heart, brain, and liver and adult heart, brain, liver, skeletal muscle, pancreas, spleen, thymus, and peripheral leukocytes. According to PubMed:10783259, expressed at low but detectable level in pancreas and heart.
