Sequence analysis of this gene suggests that it is encodes a member of the superfamily of G protein-couple receptors. G protein-coupled receptors typically contain seven hydrophobic transmembrane domains, interact with guanine nucleotide binding regulatory proteins, and detect molecules outside the cell and act to transduce these signals into intracellular responses. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
