Institute of Biochemistry, University of Vienna, Austria.

We isolated a 40 kDa integral membrane protein (p40) from human erythrocyte ghosts by affinity chromatography, using a C-terminal peptide of stomatin, and obtained partial sequences which enabled us to isolate two full-length cDNAs from human bone marrow and fetal brain cDNA libraries. The cDNA sequences were identical and encoded a novel putative G protein-coupled receptor (399 amino acids). Northern and RNA dot blot analyses demonstrated that the major 4.8 kb-transcript is predominantly expressed in brain. In situ hybridization studies of tissue sections revealed high expression in neurons of the brain and spinal cord, in thymocytes, megakaryocytes, and macrophages.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.
