GPRC5C
Function
This retinoic acid-inducible G-protein coupled receptor provide evidence for a possible interaction between retinoid and G-protein signaling pathways.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 3 family.
Tissue Specificity
Expression is highest in the periphery, particularly in the stomach, but also in the kidney, liver, pancreas, and prostate. In brain, levels of expression are generally lower than in the periphery, with the exception of cerebellum, spinal cord, and dorsal root ganglia (DRG).
Cellular localization
- Cell membrane
- Multi-pass membrane protein
- Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane
- Multi-pass membrane protein
- Localized in the plasma membrane and perinuclear vesicles.
