C10C6.2 encodes a G-protein-coupled receptor for the FMRFamide-related peptides (FaRPs) encoded by flp-15; C10C6.2 is primarily coupled to Gi/Go proteins, since C10C6.2 signalling is blocked by pertussis toxin; because of its link to Gi/Go proteins, C10C6.2 is expected to be inhibitory
Predicted to enable G protein-coupled photoreceptor activity. Predicted to be involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; cellular response to light stimulus; and phototransduction. Predicted to be located in membrane. Expressed in ventral cord neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension. Is an ortholog of human PRLHR (prolactin releasing hormone receptor).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
