Background
prokineticin receptor 1(PROKR1) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the G-protein-coupled receptor family. The encoded protein binds to prokineticins (1 and 2), leading to the activation of MAPK and STAT signaling pathways. Prokineticins are protein ligands involved in angiogenesis and inflammation. The encoded protein is expressed in peripheral tissues such as those comprising the circulatory system, lungs, reproductive system, endocrine system and the gastrointestinal system. The protein may be involved in signaling in human fetal ovary during initiation of primordial follicle formation. Sequence variants in this gene may be associated with recurrent miscarriage. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016],function:Receptor for prokineticin 1. Exclusively coupled to the G(q) subclass of heteromeric G proteins. Activation leads to mobilization of calcium, stimulation of phosphoinositide turnover and activation of p44/p42 mitogen-activated protein kinase.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,tissue specificity:Expressed in the stomach, throughout the small intestine, colon, rectum, thyroid gland, pituitary gland, salivary gland, adrenal gland, testis, ovary, brain, spleen, prostate and pancreas.,
