name: mas-related G-protein coupled receptor
def: "A rhodopsin-like G-protein coupled receptor that is related to the proto-oncogene MAS. The protein has a very short extracellular amino-terminal segment that is not a signal sequence." [PRO:WCB]
comment: Category=family. Note: These receptors may bind neuropeptides and may regulate nociceptor function and/or development, including the sensation or modulation of pain. Because genes for these receptors have undergone duplication, including lineage-specific expansions and pseudogenization, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish orthologs and paralogs.
