Disease relevance of SUCNR1

 

High impact information on SUCNR1

  • All known P2Y receptors (i.e. P2Y(1,2,4,6,11,12,13,14)) and two P2Y-like receptors (GPR91 and GPR17) were detected in all subjects [2].
  • We also report that GPR99 (ref. 4), a close relative of GPR91, responds to alpha-ketoglutarate, another intermediate in the citric acid cycle [1].
  • The succinate-induced hypertensive effect involves the renin-angiotensin system and is abolished in GPR91-deficient mice [1].
  • Here we show that GPR91 (ref. 3), a previously orphan G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), functions as a receptor for the citric acid cycle intermediate succinate [1].
