   G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a vast protein family that
   encompasses a wide range of functions (including various autocrine,
   para-crine and endocrine processes). They show considerable diversity at the 
   sequence level, on the basis of which they can be separated into distinct 
   groups. We use the term clan to describe the GPCRs, as they embrace a group 
   of families for which there are indications of evolutionary relationship,
   but between which there is no statistically significant similarity in 
   sequence [1,2]. The currently known clan members include the rhodopsin-like 
   GPCRs, the secretin-like GPCRs, the cAMP receptors, the fungal mating 
   pheromone receptors, and the metabotropic glutamate receptor family.
   
   The rhodopsin-like GPCRs themselves represent a widespread protein family 
   that includes hormone, neurotransmitter and light receptors, all of 
   which transduce extracellular signals through interaction with guanine 
   nucleotide-binding (G) proteins. Although their activating ligands vary 
   widely in structure and character, the amino acid sequences of the 
   receptors are very similar and are believed to adopt a common structural 
   framework comprising 7 transmembrane (TM) helices [3-5].
   
   Mas oncogene is expressed at high levels in the CNS. Members of the family
   of mas-related receptors have been indicated in the development, regulation
   and function of nociceptive neurons, specifically in the modulation of pain.
   Most members are orphaned, with no endogeneous ligand identified; however,
   some have been cloned. MRGX1 is potently activated by enkephalins, including 
   BAM22, in stably transfected cells, resulting in a large dose-dependent
   release of intracellular Ca2+ [6]. Cortistatin-14 acts as a potent ligand
   for MRGX2. Stimulation by cortistatin-14 in receptor-expressing cells
   increases intracellular Ca2+, acting in part of the calcium signalling
   pathway [8-9]. Members of the family can also be activated via chloroquine,
   inducing a histamine-independent itch response [7], although their exact 
   functions are currently unknown.
  
   The Mrgrd receptors are thought to be involved with nociceptor function 
   and development, and are directly involved in the modulation of pain. It
   has been demonstrated that beta-alanine can act as an agonist at Mrgrd
   receptors [10].
   
   MRGPCRD is a 7-element fingerprint that provides a signature for  
   mas-related G protein-coupled receptor D. The fingerprint was derived from
   an initial alignment of 4 sequences: the motifs were drawn from conserved 
   sections within N- and C-terminal and loop regions, focusing on those areas
   of the alignment that characterise the mas-related type D receptors but
   distinguish them from the rest of the mas-related family - motif 1 lies
   in the first cytoplasmic loop; motif 2 resides within the first TM domain;
   motif 3 spans the end of TM domain 2, leading into the first external loop;
   motif 4 lies in the first external loop; motifs 5 and 6 encode the N- and
   C-termini of the fifth TM domain; and motif 7 resides at the C terminus.
   Two iterations on SPTR57.15_40.15f were required to reach convergence, at
   which point a true set comprising 5 sequences was identified.
