This gene encodes a seven-transmembrane protein localized in the Golgi apparatus in mammalian cells. The encoded protein belongs to the progestin and adipoQ receptor (PAQR) family. This protein functions as a tumor suppressor by inhibiting the Raf/MEK/ERK signaling cascade. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
