Agonist Comments
12-(S)-HETE is a 12-lipoxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid, which produces a number of cellular responses including cytoskeletal remodeling to facilitate cell chemotaxis and secretion of proteinases and vascular endothelial growth factor leading to an angiogenic response. 12-(S)-HETE treatment of cancer cells alsoenhanced the expression of integrins and fibronectin,which prolong cell survival. GPR31 displayed high affinity binding for tritiated 12-(S)-HETE (Kd = 5 nM) and unlabeled 12-(S)-HETE stimulated GTPγS coupling in the membranes of GPR31-transfected cells, with an EC50 of 0.28 nM [2]. In concordance, GPR31 is phylogenetically closest to the OXE receptor (for which the ligand is 5-oxo-6,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid) [1].

Unlabelled 12S-HETE effectively replaces the radioactive ligand bound to receptors, whereas 12R-HETE is unable to replace GPR31 bound 12S-[3H]HETE suggesting stereospecific binding [2].

Physiological Functions Comments
Thought to exert an effect on innate immunity through cytokine IFN-γ [4], [6].
Physiological Consequences of Altering Gene Expression Comments
Knockdown of GPR31 using shRNA in transfected CHO cells diminishes specific binding of 12S-[3H]HETE [2].
Clinically-Relevant Mutations and Pathophysiology Comments
Dominantly inherited cutaneous small-vessel lymphocytic vasculitis maps to chromosome 6q26-q27, making GPR31 (which also maps to the linked region) a plausible candidate for the disease based on biological function [6].
Biologically Significant Variants Click here for help
Type:  Single nucleotide polymorphism
Species:  Human
Amino acid change:  H91R
Global MAF (%):  1
Subpopulation MAF (%):  AFR: 4
Minor allele count:  T=0.009/20
Comment on frequency:  Low frequency (<10% in all tested populations)
SNP accession:  VAR_049392, rs6902566
Validation:  1000 Genomes, HapMap, Frequency
Biologically Significant Variant Comments
An in-frame 210-bp deletion in GPR31 is observed in the mouse t complex responder locus responsible for transmission ratio distortion of mouse t haplotypes [5].
General Comments
Clone AK036897 holds 50% identity with human GPR31 indicating that it may be a murine paralog of the receptor. However it is too short to encode a putative GPCR structure, indicating that the cDNA is likely to be a partial fragment [3]. 12S-[3H]HETE has been shown to bind to the BLT2 receptor with much lower affinity than that of GPR31.
