Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable G protein-coupled serotonin receptor activity and neurotransmitter receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain; and modulation of chemical synaptic transmission. Predicted to act upstream of or within signal transduction. Predicted to be located in axon terminus; neuronal cell body; and synaptic vesicle. Predicted to be active in dendrite; postsynaptic membrane; and presynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; and immune system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol use disorder. Orthologous to human HTR7 (5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 7).
