Log average relative transcript abundance in mouse tissues measured by qPCR from Regard, J.B., Sato, I.T., and Coughlin, S.R. (2008). Anatomical profiling of G protein-coupled receptor expression. Cell, 135(3): 561-71. [PMID:18984166] [Raw data: website]

Biologically Significant Variant Comments
The RefSeq gene (Gene ID:11245) has 3 coding exons, first contains most of TM 1, second contains most of TMs 2 and 3. There are a number of cDNA which insert an extra 58 base exon between exons 1 and 2 and then use a compensating shorter (by 61 bases at acceptor end) version of exon 2. These alternate splice variants seem to be associated with one allele of the SNP rs66490630 which is the last base of the extra exon.
