Gpr18 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within T cell differentiation; negative regulation of leukocyte chemotaxis; and negative regulation of tumor necrosis factor production. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic vesicle membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human GPR18 (G protein-coupled receptor 18).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Gpr18 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
