Facts about G-protein coupled receptor 84.
Not triggered by short-chain and long-chain saturated and unsaturated FFAs. Activation by medium-chain free fatty acid is coupled to a pertussis toxin sensitive G(i/o) protein pathway.

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.
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
