Subcellular Localization

Membrane; multi-pass membrane protein.

Developmental Stage

Similarity

Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 2 family.

Post translational Modification

Function

This is a receptor for corticotropin releasing factor. Shows high-affinity binding for urotensin I. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase (By similarity).
