Gpr88 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable G protein-coupled photoreceptor activity; beta2-adrenergic receptor activity; and cytoskeletal motor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including adenylate cyclase-modulating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; motor learning; and phototransduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within locomotory behavior; neuromuscular process controlling balance; and neuronal action potential. Located in cytoplasm; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human GPR88 (G protein-coupled receptor 88). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 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 Gpr88 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
