Function | Proton-sensing G-protein coupled receptor activated by extracellular pH, which is required to monitor pH changes and generate adaptive reactions (PubMed:12955148, PubMed:17462861, PubMed:33478938, PubMed:39753132, PubMed:39799123). Activated by an optimal pH of 6.8- 7.2 (PubMed:12955148, PubMed:17462861, PubMed:39753132). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors, such as adenylate cyclase (PubMed:39753132). GPR4 is mainly coupled to G(s) G proteins and mediates activation of adenylate cyclase activity (PubMed:12955148, PubMed:17462861, PubMed:20211729, PubMed:22110680, PubMed:39753132). May also couple with G(q) and G(12)/G(13) G proteins (PubMed:12955148, PubMed:17462861, PubMed:20211729, PubMed:22110680). Acts as a key regulator of respiratory sensitivity to CO2/H(+) in brain retrotrapezoid nucleus neurons: acts by mediating detection of protons generated by the formation of carbonic acid in the blood, an important mechanism to impulse to breathe (By similarity). Also acts as a regulator of acid secretion in the kidney collecting duct by maintaining acid-base homeostasis in the kidney (By similarity). Acidosis-induced GPR4 activation increases paracellular gap formation and permeability of vascular endothelial cells, possibly through the G(12)/G(13)/Rho GTPase signaling pathway (PubMed:32058960). |
