Function | Receptor activated by multiple ligands, including osteocalcin (BGLAP), basic amino acids, and various cations (PubMed:15576628). Activated by amino acids with a preference for basic amino acids such as L-Lys, L-Arg and L-ornithine but also by small and polar amino acids (PubMed:15576628). The L-alpha amino acids respond is augmented by divalent cations Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) (By similarity). Seems to act through a G(q)/G(11) and G(i)-coupled pathway (By similarity). Regulates testosterone production by acting as a ligand for uncarboxylated osteocalcin hormone: osteocalcin-binding at the surface of Leydig cells initiates a signaling response that promotes the expression of enzymes required for testosterone synthesis in a CREB- dependent manner (By similarity). Mediates the non-genomic effects of androgens in multiple tissue (By similarity). May coordinate nutritional and hormonal anabolic signals through the sensing of extracellular amino acids, osteocalcin, divalent ions and its responsiveness to anabolic steroids (PubMed:20947496). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8K4Z6}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8K4Z6} |
Tissue Location | Isoform 1 is expressed at high level in brain, skeletal muscle, testis, bone, calvaria, osteoblasts and leukocytes Expressed at intermediate level in liver, heart, kidney and spleen Expressed at low level in lung, pancreas, placenta and ovary. Not detected in thymus, prostate, small intestine, tongue and colon Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are expressed in kidney at the same level Isoform 2 is expressed at lower level than isoform 1 in the other tissues. |
