def: "A mas-related G-protein coupled receptor X that is a translation product of the human MRGPRX2 gene or a 1:1 ortholog thereof. This receptor has limited expression in peripheral and central nervous system, with highest levels in dorsal root ganglion. In contrast with the X1 receptor, it is activated by cortistatin-14 but only weakly by BAM22." [PMID:16284629, PRO:WCB, UniProtKB:Q96LB1]
