Atypical expansion in mice of the sensory neuron-specific Mrg G protein-coupled receptor family.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 19 Aug 2003

Abstract excerpt

The Mas-related genes (Mrgs) comprise a family of >50 G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), many of which are expressed in specific subsets of nociceptive sensory neurons in mice. In contrast, humans contain a related but nonorthologous family of genes, called MrgXs or sensory neuron-specific rece...
