Probable G-protein coupled receptor 179

UniProtKB accession:  Q6PRD1

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Orphan receptor involved in vision (PubMed:24084093, PubMed:22325362). Required for signal transduction through retinal depolarizing bipolar cells (PubMed:22325362). Acts as an atypical G-protein coupled receptor that recruits and regulates the R7 group RGS-GNB5 complexes instead of activating G proteins: promotes the GTPase activator activity of R7 RGS proteins, increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits, thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form (By similarity). Associates with components of metabotropic signaling cascade in retina ON-bipolar neurons, such as TRPM1 and GRM6: may control the ability of the GRM6 cascade to gate TRPM1 (By similarity).
