Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables G protein-coupled receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including axon terminus; neuronal cell body; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; central nervous system; early embryo; oocyte; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congestive heart failure. Orthologous to human ADRA2C (adrenoceptor alpha 2C).
