Functional Assays Click here for help
Gln, Trp and Thr substitutions at position 3.50 do not alter receptor expression at the cell surface but reduce basal receptor activity.
Species:  Mouse
Tissue:  COS-7 Cells
Response measured:  Reduced basal receptor activity
References:  5
I122F and Y225N abolish basal receptor activity; this is attributed to altered cell surface expression.
Species:  Mouse
Tissue:  COS-7 Cells
Response measured:  Inhibition of basal receptor activity
References:  2
The Ala to Asp mutation in the DRY motif at the TMD3/ICL2 transition results in reduced basal receptor activity caused by stabilisation of the inactive receptor conformation.
Species:  Mouse
Tissue:  COS-7 Cells
Response measured:  Reduced receptor activity
References:  4
Physiological Consequences of Altering Gene Expression Comments
GPR33 deficient mouse (carrying the Y225N mutation) does not show any obviously altered fertility, morphologic development, major organs or blood cell counts. Macrophage specific function should be assessed to delineate functional relevance of the receptor [6].

Description:  Arg->His polymorphism in DRY motif of GPR33 does not alter receptor function in vitro (for other GPCR this polymorphism has been shown to increase β-arrestin mediated desensitisation).

General Comments
Human GPR33 contains a premature stop codon within the coding sequence of the second intracellular loop [4]. Pseudogenes of GPR33 predominantly occur in rodents (rat) and primates but not other mammals [4]. Receptor inactivation may have occurred due to a rodent-hominoid-specific pathogen [1]. Murine GPR33 expression is regulated by toll like receptors and AP-1/NFκB signalling pathways in cell culture and in vivo. Manganese also increase receptor mRNA expression in dendritic cells via an unknown mechanism [1].
