Abstract
A G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) which is activated by oncogenes. The receptor is found predominantly in hematopoietic cells and tissues and functions as a tumor suppressor gene and induces cell cycle arrest. This receptor may play an important role in regulating the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic cells. Regulation of receptor activity has several therapeutic applications.
