Gene:
G protein-coupled receptor, family C, group 5, member A
Gene ID:
207919
Symbol:
GPRC5A
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a member of the type 3 G protein-coupling receptor family, characterized by the signature 7-transmembrane domain motif. The encoded protein may be involved in interaction between retinoid acid and G protein signalling pathways. Retinoic acid plays a critical role in development, cellular growth, and differentiation. This gene may play a role in embryonic development and epithelial cell differentiation.
