MRGPRD (MAS Related GPR Family Member D) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are ACE Inhibitor Pathway, Pharmacodynamics. GO annotations related to this gene include G-protein coupled receptor activity. An important paralog of this gene is MRGPRX4. May regulate nociceptor function and/or development, including the sensation or modulation of pain. Functions as a specific membrane receptor for beta-alanine. Beta-alanine at micromolar doses specifically evoked Ca(2+) influx in cells expressing the receptor. Beta-alanine decreases forskolin-stimulated cAMP production in cells expressing the receptor, suggesting that the receptor couples with G-protein G(q) and G(i).
