PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • seven transmembrane segments (7TM) receptor, lacking N-linked glycosylation sites
  • a large C terminus tail
  • HOMOLOGY
    intraspecies homolog to melatonin-related receptor
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • G-protein coupled receptor 1 family
  • CATEGORY receptor
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • melatonin-related receptor potentially involved in neuroendocrine function
  • playing a role in the regulation of lipid metabolism
  • involvement in mental disorders with links to several disease mechanisms (Grünewald 2009)
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling hormonal
    a component
  • heterodimerizes constitutively and specifically with MT(1) and MT(2) melatonin receptors, and specifically inhibits MT1 melatonin receptor function through heterodimerization
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • neurite outgrowth inhibitor RTN4 is an interacting partner of GPR50
  • role for GPR50 in NR3C1 signalling through interaction with kat5
  • cell & other
