关于 GPR150

功能概要

该基因编码 G 蛋白偶联受体 (GPCR) A 类视紫红质样家族的孤儿成员。在视紫红质样家族中，该基因是加压素样亚家族的成员，该亚家族还包括加压素和催产素受体。由于启动子甲基化，该基因的沉默与卵巢癌的进展有关。所有 GPCR 都有一个跨膜结构域，其中包括七个跨膜 α 螺旋。 GPCR 信号的一般特征是激动剂诱导的受体构象变化，导致异源三聚体 G 蛋白的激活。然后活化的 G 蛋白结合并激活许多下游效应蛋白，这些效应蛋白产生第二信使，介导广泛的细胞和生理过程。[RefSeq 提供，2017 年 7 月]

This gene encodes an orphan member of the class A rhodopsin-like family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Within the rhodopsin-like family, this gene is a member of the vasopressin-like subfamily that also includes vasopressin and oxytocin receptors. The silencing of this gene, due to promoter methylation, is associated with ovarian Cancer progression. All GPCRs have a transmembrane domain that includes seven transmembrane alpha-helices. A general feature of GPCR signaling is the agonist-induced conformational change in the receptor, leading to activation of the heterotrimeric G protein. The activated G protein then binds to and activates numerous downstream effector proteins, which generate second messengers that mediate a broad range of cellular and physiological processes.
