Function
Orphan receptor. Could be involved in modulating differentiation and maintaining homeostasis of epithelial cells. This retinoic acid-inducible GPCR provide evidence for a possible interaction between retinoid and G protein signaling pathways.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein)
Tissue Specificity: Expressed at high level in fetal and adult lung tissues but repressed in most human lung cancers. 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
