Function | Plays a role in cardioprotection by reducing cardiac hypertrophy and perivascular fibrosis in a GPER1-dependent manner. Transports the calcitonin gene-related peptide type 1 receptor (CALCRL) and GPER1 to the plasma membrane. Acts as a receptor for adrenomedullin (AM) together with CALCRL. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23674134, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9620797}. |
Subcellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23674134}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23674134}. Membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23674134}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23674134}. Note=Moves from intracellular puncta to the plasma membrane in a RAMP3-dependent manner. |
Tissue Specificity | Strongly expressed in lung, breast, immune system and fetal tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9620797}. |
