Summary: Enables transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Involved in cell surface receptor signaling pathway and response to chloroquine. Acts upstream of or within chemosensory behavior. Located in axon and neuronal cell body membrane. Orthologous to several human genes including MRGPRX1 (MAS related GPR family member X1); MRGPRX2 (MAS related GPR family member X2); and MRGPRX3 (MAS related GPR family member X3).

Results showed that the scratching bouts induced by chloroquine increased significantly under the acetone-ether-water (AEW) chronic pruritus; the density of MrgprA3 sensory fibers in the AEW-treated skin area and the number of MrgprA3 neurons in dorsal root ganglia from the AEW model mice also increased significantly. Further analysis showed that the MrgprA3 in mRNA level was also increased after AEW treatment.

This study demonstrated that MrgprA3+ neurons have lower excitability than the same size MrgprA3--non-Dil and MrgprA3--Dil neurons. MrgprA3+ neurons exhibit decreased AP firing activity.

showed that both MRGPRA3+ and MRGPRD+ neurons from hapten-challenged mice displayed a significantly more depolarized resting membrane potential, decreased rheobase, and greater number of action potentials at twice rheobase compared with neurons
Title: Enhanced excitability of MRGPRA3- and MRGPRD-positive nociceptors in a model of inflammatory itch and pain.
This study demonistrated that MrgprA3 expression defines a specific population of itch-mediating neurons and determined the molecular identity and cellular properties of these neurons.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
