Gene:
G protein-coupled receptor 44
Gene ID:
190319
Symbol:
GPR44
Species:
1000
Description:
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), such as GPR44, are integral membrane proteins containing 7 putative transmembrane domains (TMs). These proteins mediate signals to the interior of the cell via activation of heterotrimeric G proteins that in turn activate various effector proteins, ultimately resulting in a physiologic response.[supplied by OMIM]
