UniProt Protein Function: | PTAFR: Receptor for platelet activating factor, a chemotactic phospholipid mediator that possesses potent inflammatory, smooth- muscle contractile and hypotensive activity. Seems to mediate its action via a G protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol- calcium second messenger system. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.Protein type: Membrane protein, integral; GPCR, family 1; Membrane protein, multi-pass; Motility/polarity/chemotaxis; Receptor, GPCRChromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1p35-p34.3Cellular Component: nucleoplasm; membrane; intracellular membrane-bound organelle; integral to plasma membrane; integral to membrane; plasma membraneMolecular Function: G-protein coupled receptor activity; platelet activating factor receptor activity; purinergic nucleotide receptor activity, G-protein coupled; lipopolysaccharide binding; phospholipid binding; lipopolysaccharide receptor activityBiological Process: G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway; phosphoinositide-mediated signaling; inositol trisphosphate biosynthetic process; cytokine and chemokine mediated signaling pathway; lipopolysaccharide-mediated signaling pathway; cytokine production; immune response; inflammatory response; chemotaxis |

NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes a seven-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptor for platelet-activating factor (PAF) that localizes to lipid rafts and/or caveolae in the cell membrane. PAF (1-0-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine) is a phospholipid that plays a significant role in oncogenic transformation, tumor growth, angiogenesis, metastasis, and pro-inflammatory processes. Binding of PAF to the PAF-receptor (PAFR) stimulates numerous signal transduction pathways including phospholipase C, D, A2, mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), and the phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Following PAFR activation, cells become rapidly desensitized and this refractory state is dependent on PAFR phosphorylation, internalization, and down-regulation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011] |
