ID:GPR84_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=G-protein coupled receptor 84; AltName: Full=Inflammation-related G-protein coupled receptor EX33; FUNCTION: Receptor for medium-chain free fatty acid (FFA) with carbon chain lengths of C9 to C14. Capric acid (C10:0), undecanoic acid (C11:0) and lauric acid (C12:0) are the most potent agonists. Not activated by short-chain and long-chain saturated and unsaturated FFAs. Activation by medium-chain free fatty acid is coupled to a pertussis toxin sensitive G(i/o) protein pathway. May have important roles in processes from fatty acid metabolism to regulation of the immune system. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed predominantly in hematopoietic tissues. High levels detected in the bone marrow and lower levels in the peripheral leukocytes and lung. Also expressed in brain, heart, muscle, colon, thymus, spleen, kidney, liver, placenta and intestine. Within the leukocyte population expression is higher in neutrophils and eosinophils relative to T- or B-lymphocytes. INDUCTION: By bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in the monocytic leukaemia cell line THP-1. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
