Protein
Mas-related G-protein coupled receptor member A1
Function
Orphan receptor activated by a subset of RFamide-family neuropeptides such as FLRF-amide and FMRF-amide. Mediates its action by association with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Its effect is mediated by G(q) and G(11) proteins. May regulate the function of nociceptive neurons by modulation of pain perception.
Similarity
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Mas subfamily.
