Description

GPR31 encodes a G protein-coupled receptor that functions as a high-affinity receptor for 12(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12(S)-HETE), a metabolite of arachidonic acid. The receptor is involved in immune cell chemotaxis, particularly of dendritic cells, and has been implicated in cancer metastasis and inflammatory responses.

Protein Summary

GPR31 is a 319-amino acid transmembrane receptor that couples to G proteins to mediate cellular responses to 12(S)-HETE. It is predominantly expressed in immune tissues and plays a role in cell migration and inflammation. Structural studies suggest a typical GPCR fold with seven transmembrane helices.
