Function
When expressed, is unable to bind pancreatic polypeptide (PP), neuropeptide Y (NPY), or peptide YY (PYY), suggesting that either it is functionally inactive or that it may have acquired a pancreatic polypeptide-independent function.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
Tissue Specificity
Expressed in heart, skeletal muscle, gastrointestinal tissues, spleen, brain and adrenal glands.
Cellular localization
- Membrane
- Multi-pass membrane protein
