Comments One isoform has been implicated in the induction of CD4(+) CD25(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) during inflammatory immune responses [731]. The extracellular N‐terminal domain is reported as an intramolecular inverse agonist [1410]. Medium chain free fatty acids with carbon chain lengths of 9‐14 activate GPR84 [1901, 2067]. A surrogate ligand for GPR84, 6‐n‐octylaminouracil has also been proposed [1901]. See review [414] for discussion of classification. Mutational analysis and molecular modelling of GPR84 has been reported [1463]. Proposed to regulate hippocampal neurogenesis in the adult, as well as neurogenesis‐dependent learning and memory [319]. Gene disruption results in altered striatal signalling [1203]. Small molecule agonists have been reported [151]. Mutations in GPR101 have been linked to gigantism and acromegaly [1982].
