Protein
G-protein coupled receptor Mth
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Function
Involved in biological aging and stress response. Essential for adult survival. Required in the presynaptic motor neuron to up-regulate neurotransmitter exocytosis at larval glutamatergic neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). Regulates a step associated with docking and clustering of vesicles at release sites. SP/Acp70A and sun are agonists that activate mth in vitro.
Similarity
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 2 family. Mth subfamily.
