GPR34: cDNA Clones

GPR34 is a widely expressed 75-90 kDa seven transmembrane segment glycoprotein. It is upregulated on microglia during inflammation and functions as a receptor for lysophosphatidyl-L-serine on mast cells to promote degranulation. Multiple isoforms of GPR34 may result from multiple translation initiation sites and alternative splicing. Human GPR34 shares 89% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat GPR34.
