背景信息:
MRGF is a 343 amino acid multi-pass membrane protein that functions as an orphan receptor. MRGF belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family and Mas subfamily, and is thought to have a role in pain sensation and modulation by regulating nociceptor function. The gene encoding MRGF maps to human chromosome 11, which houses over 1,400 genes and comprises nearly 4% of the human genome. Jervell and Lange-Nielsen syndrome, Jacobsen syndrome, Niemann-Pick disease, hereditary angioedema and Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome are associated with defects in genes that maps to chromosome 11.
