Source Organism

Catostomus commersoni (White sucker).

Taxomomy

Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Actinopterygii; Neopterygii; Teleostei; Ostariophysi; Cypriniformes;Catostomidae; Catostomus.

Subcellular Localization

Cell membrane; multi-pass membrane protein.

Developmental Stage

Similarity

Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.

Post translational Modification

Function

Binds to isotocin. Can also be activated by vasotocin, mesotocin, oxytocin and Arg-vasopressin, although these have lower potencies than isotocin. Produces an induction of membrane chloride currents indicating that it is coupled to the inositol phosphate/calcium pathway.
