GPR1
Encyclopedia
G protein-coupled receptor 1, also known as GPR1, is a protein
that in humans is encoded by the GPR1 gene
.
GPR1 is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor
family of transmembrane receptors. It functions as a receptor for chemerin
. Other receptors for chemerin include CMKLR1
and CCRL2

Protein
Proteins are biochemical compounds consisting of one or more polypeptides typically folded into a globular or fibrous form, facilitating a biological function. A polypeptide is a single linear polymer chain of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of...

Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...

CMKLR1
Chemokine receptor-like 1 also known as ChemR23 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CMKLR1 gene. Chemokine receptor-like 1 is a G protein-coupled receptor for the chemoattractant adipokine chemerin and the omega-3 fatty acid derived molecule resolvin E1...

CCRL2
C-C chemokine receptor-like 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CCRL2 gene. Recently it was found that CCRL2 also acts as a receptor for the chemokine chemerin.- Function:...
