Gene:
G protein-coupled receptor 8
Gene ID:
199660
Symbol:
GPR8
Species:
1000
Description:
The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and G protein-coupled receptor. The encoded protein is similar in sequence to another G protein-coupled receptor (GPR7), and it is structurally similar to opioid and somatostatin receptors. This gene is intronless and is expressed primarily in the frontal cortex of the brain.
