Summary: Enables urotensin II receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of vasoconstriction; regulation of blood pressure; and regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle. Located in early endosome and recycling endosome. Used to study acute kidney failure; endomyocardial fibrosis; and hypertension. Biomarker of cardiomyopathy and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human UTS2R (urotensin 2 receptor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
