NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene was identified by the up-regulation of its expression upon Epstein-Barr virus infection of primary B lymphocytes. This gene is predicted to encode a G protein-coupled receptor that is most closely related to the thrombin receptor. Expression of this gene was detected in B-lymphocyte cell lines and lymphoid tissues but not in T-lymphocyte cell lines or peripheral blood T lymphocytes. The function of this gene is unknown.

Uniprot Description
GPR183: Receptor for oxysterol 7-alpha,25-dihydroxycholesterol (7-alpha,25-OHC) and other related oxysterols. Binding of 7- alpha,25-OHC mediates the correct localization of B-cells during humoral immune responses. Promotes activated B-cell localization in the outer follicle and interfollicular regions. Its specific expression during B-cell maturation helps position B-cells appropriately for mounting T-dependent antibody responses. Signals constitutively through G(i)-alpha, but not throughG(s)-alpha or G(q)-alpha. Signals constitutively also via MAPK1/3 (ERK1/2). Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
