Function

Metabotropic receptor for glycine that controls synapse formation and function in the brain (PubMed:36996198). Acts as an atypical G-protein coupled receptor that recruits and regulates the RGS7-GNB5 complex instead of activating G proteins (PubMed:31189666, PubMed:36996198). In absence of glycine ligand, promotes the GTPase activator activity of RGS7, increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits, thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form (PubMed:36996198). Glycine-binding changes the conformation of the intracellular surface, inhibiting the GTPase activator activity of the RGS7-GNB5 complex, promoting G protein alpha subunits into their active GTP-bound form and regulating cAMP levels (PubMed:36996198). Also able to bind taurine, a compound closely related to glycine, but with a two-fold lower affinity (PubMed:36996198). Glycine receptor-dependent regulation of cAMP controls key ion channels, kinases and neurotrophic factors involved in neuronal excitability and synaptic transmission (PubMed:36996198). Plays a pivotal role in regulating mood and cognition via its ability to regulate neuronal excitability in L2/L3 pyramidal neurons of the prefrontal cortex (By similarity). Also involved in spatial learning by regulating hippocampal CA1 neuronal excitability (By similarity). Acts as a synaptic organizer in the hippocampus, required for proper mossy fiber-CA3 neurocircuitry establishment, structure and function: induces presynaptic differentiation in contacting axons via its interaction with GPC4 (By similarity). In addition to glycine, may also act as a receptor for osteocalcin (BGLAP) hormone: osteocalcin-binding initiates a signaling response that prevents neuronal apoptosis in the hippocampus and regulates the synthesis of neurotransmitters (By similarity).

Activity summary

GPR158 also known as G protein-coupled receptor 158 is an orphan receptor with a molecular mass of approximately 92 kDa. This protein is part of the GPCR family which has a structure characterized by seven transmembrane domains. GPR158 is highly expressed in the brain notably in regions such as the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus which have roles in cognitive and emotional processing. It is also present in other tissues but at lower levels indicating a more specialized function in the central nervous system.

Biological function summary

GPR158 interacts with certain signaling molecules and is involved in modulating neurotransmission. It does not operate alone; it can form complexes with other proteins like RGS proteins which help regulate GPCR signaling. This interaction influences cellular responses to various stimuli. GPR158 plays a role in neurons and is involved in pathways that control synaptic plasticity and neuronal survival which are essential for learning and memory processes.

Pathways

Research indicates that GPR158 is part of both the PI3K-Akt signaling and the G protein signaling pathways. These pathways are critical for cell growth survival and metabolism. GPR158 connects with proteins such as Akt an important player in mediating several GPCR functions. Through its involvement in these pathways GPR158 influences cellular responses to growth factors and stress linking external signals to internal cellular mechanisms.

Associated diseases and disorders

GPR158 shows relevance to mental health conditions and certain cancers. In neuropsychiatric disorders like depression altered GPR158 expression levels affect mood regulation potentially through its interactions with neurotransmitter systems. Additionally in prostate cancer GPR158 connects to the androgen receptor pathway hinting at its role in tumor progression. Understanding these connections can help in developing therapeutic strategies targeting GPR158-related pathways in disease management.
