Rabbit Anti-GPCR GPR8/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and G protein-coupled receptor. The encoded protein is similar in sequence to another G protein-coupled receptor (GPR7), and it is structurally similar to opioid and somatostatin receptors. This protein binds neuropeptides B and W. This gene is intronless and is expressed primarily in the frontal cortex of the brain. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Function:
This protein interacts specifically with a number of opioid ligands and is a receptor for neuropeptides B and W, which may be involved in neuroendocrine system regulation, food intake and the organization of other signals.
Subcellular Location:
Cell Membrane
Similarity:
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
