Facts about Mas-related G-protein coupled receptor member X2.
cationic amphiphilic drugs, in addition to endo- or exogenous peptides, comprising a simple head group and a hydrophobic core (PubMed:25517090). Recognizes and binds small molecules comprising a cyclized tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ), such as non-steroidal neuromuscular blocking drugs (NMBDs), such as tubocurarine and atracurium.

Mainly expressed in mast cells. Has a limited expression profile, both peripheral and within the central nervous system, with highest levels in dorsal root ganglion (PubMed:12915402). Detected in blood vessels, scattered lymphocytes, and gastrointestinal ganglia (at protein level) (PubMed:16161007).
