F2rl3 - coagulation factor II (thrombin) receptor-like 3

This gene encodes a member of the protease-activated receptor subfamily, part of the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family of proteins. The encoded receptor is proteolytically processed to reveal an extracellular N-terminal tethered ligand that binds to and activates the receptor. This receptor plays a role in blood coagulation, inflammation and response to pain. Mice lacking a functional copy of this gene exhibit impaired platelet activation and prolonged bleeding times.
