frpr-18 encodes, by alternative splicing, two G-protein coupled receptors for the flp-2-encoded peptides SPREPIRFamide (FLP2-A) and LRGEPIRFamide (FLP2-B); T19F4.1B protein has an extension of 30 residues more than T19F4.1A in the intracellular C-terminal region; T19F4.1A/B are probably linked to the G(q) pathway.
Enables G protein-coupled receptor activity. Involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of protein secretion; and sleep. Located in plasma membrane. Expressed in enteric muscle and neurons.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
