G protein-coupled receptor 1 for chemerin, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors
G-protein coupled receptor 1 (GPR1) belongs to the class A of the seven transmembrane domain receptors. This is an orphan receptor that can be activated by the leukocyte chemoattractant chemerin, thereby suggesting that some of the anti-inflammatory actions of chemerin may be mediated through GPR1. GPR1 is most closely related to another chemerin receptor CMKLR1. In an in-vitro study, GPR1 has been shown to act as a co-receptor to allow replication of HIV viruses.
Comment:based on the structures of some class A family members with bound ligands (peptides or chemicals), agonists, or antagonists
Comment:Small-molecule chemical ligands tend to bind deeper within the receptor core, compared to a peptide ligand neurotensin, which binds towards the extracellular surface of its receptor.
