Data Sheet
Background: GPR34 is an orphan G protein coupled receptor, belongs to P2Y receptor family. It is a potent mediator of lysophospholipid and expressed in various tissues including stomach Mast cells, placenta, spleen, thymus, ovary, Heart, brain etc. GPR34 receptor is responsible for enhancing the antigen induced degranulation of mast cells.
Application: Functional assays
