Source Organism

Mus musculus (Mouse).

Taxomomy

Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Sciurognathi;Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus.

Subcellular Localization

Membrane (By similarity).

Developmental Stage

Similarity

Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.

Post translational Modification

Function

This is one of the several different receptors for 5- hydroxytryptamine (serotonin), a biogenic hormone that functions as a neurotransmitter, a hormone, and a mitogen. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins that inhibit adenylate cyclase activity (By similarity).
