Summary
GPR84 (G protein-coupled receptor 84, HGNC:4535) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q13.13, encoding G protein-coupled receptor 84 (Q9NQS5). G protein-coupled receptor that responds endogenously to dietary fatty acids or nutrient, specifically medium-chain free fatty acid (FFA) with carbon chain lengths of C9 to C14.
Predicted to enable urotensin II receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in neuropeptide signaling pathway. Part of signaling receptor complex.

Genetic regulation across tissues (GTEx eQTL / sQTL)
GPR84 is an eGene in GTEx v10 — its expression is genetically regulated (eQTL) in 14 tissues and its splicing (sQTL) in 0 (q < 0.05). Strongest associations first; slope = normalized effect of the lead variant’s alternative allele.

G protein-coupled receptor 84 — Q9NQS5 (reviewed: Q9NQS5)
Alternative names: Inflammation-related G protein-coupled receptor EX33
All UniProt accessions (1): Q9NQS5
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. G protein-coupled receptor that responds endogenously to dietary fatty acids or nutrient, specifically medium-chain free fatty acid (FFA) with carbon chain lengths of C9 to C14. Capric acid (C10:0), undecanoic acid (C11:0) and lauric acid (C12:0) are the most potent agonists. In immune cells, functions as a pro-inflammatory receptor via 6-OAU and promotes the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators such as TNFalpha, IL-6 and IL-12B as well as stimulating chemotactic responses through activation of signaling mediators AKT, ERK and NF-kappa-B. In addition, triggers increased bacterial adhesion and phagocytosis in macrophages and regulates pro-inflammatory function via enhancing NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Also plays an important role in inflammation by modulating neutrophil functions. Mechanistically, promotes neutrophil chemotaxis, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and degranulation via LYN-AKT/ERK pathway. To regulate ROS, communicates with the two formyl peptide receptors FPR2 and FPR1 to control the NADPH oxidase activity in neutrophils.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with ARRB2 and ARR3.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Tissue specificity. Expressed predominantly in hematopoietic tissues. High levels detected in the bone marrow and lower levels in the peripheral leukocytes and lung. Also expressed in brain, heart, muscle, colon, thymus, spleen, kidney, liver, placenta and intestine. Within the leukocyte population expression is higher in neutrophils and eosinophils relative to T- or B-lymphocytes.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated by a subset of GPR84-activating ligands. Constitutively phosphorylated at Ser-221 and Ser-224 in the absence of 2-HTP. By contrast, Thr-263 and Thr-264 are phosphorylated only following prior cell treatment with 2-HTP.
Induction. By bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in the monocytic leukemia cell line THP-1.
Similarity. Belongs to the G protein-coupled receptor 1 family.
