The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of G-protein coupled receptors that are preferentially activated by adenosine and uridine nucleotides. There is a pseudogene for this gene nearby on chromosome X. Multiple alternatively spliced transcripts have been observed. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2016],developmental stage:Up-regulated during promyelocytic cell differentiation along the monocytic pathway, but not during granulocytic differentiation.,function:Putative receptor for purines coupled to G-proteins.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,tissue specificity:Weakly expressed in blood leukocytes.,
