Facts about Mas-related G-protein coupled receptor member X1.
Potently triggered by enkephalins such as BAM22 (bovine adrenal medulla peptide 22) and BAM (8-22)(PubMed:26582731). BAM22 is the most potent compound and evoked a large and dose-dependent release of intracellular calcium in stably transfected cells.
