Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nTMEM185B, corresponding to the novel orphan G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) designated as “ee3,” is a seven-transmembrane protein that displays the key structural characteristics of GPCR family A. Its expression is markedly up-regulated by erythropoietin in the brain and is predominantly observed in neurons across diverse central nervous system regions, thereby suggesting a role in integrative and motor functions. Notably, despite its low overall sequence identity with other known GPCRs, TMEM185B is highly conserved evolutionarily, indicating a potentially critical role in neuronal signaling."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nFunctionally, TMEM185B interacts with the microtubule-associated protein MAP1b, a binding that appears crucial for its proper folding and stability, as the absence of MAP1b results in a loss of detectable protein even though mRNA levels remain unaltered. Furthermore, the complete colocalization of TMEM185B with the 5-hydroxytryptamine 2a (5HT2a) receptor points toward a potential regulatory role within serotonin signaling pathways, suggesting that TMEM185B may influence receptor trafficking or signal modulation."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Martin H Maurer, Sylvia Grünewald, Nikolaus Gassler, et al.
