Gpr6 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway and regulation of metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human GPR6 (G protein-coupled receptor 6). [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 Gpr6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
