Gpr4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable G protein-coupled receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of Rho protein signal transduction; and response to acidic pH. Predicted to act upstream of or within G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; blood vessel development; and negative regulation of angiogenesis. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human GPR4 (G protein-coupled receptor 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

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 rat Gpr4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
