Background Descriptions | GPRC5B (G protein-coupled receptor family C group 5 member B, retinoic acid-induced gene 2 protein) is a 403 amino acid protein encoded by the human GPRC5B gene. GPRC5B is an orphan receptor member of the G protein-coupled receptor 3 family. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs or GPRs) contain 7 transmembrane domains and transduce extracellular signals through heterotrimeric G proteins. Key roles for G protein-coupled receptors include control of protein maturation and cell surface delivery, and providing the correct framework for interactions with both heterotrimeric G proteins and arrestins to allow signal generation and termination. This retinoic acid-inducible G protein-coupled receptor provides evidence for a possible interaction between retinoid and G protein signaling pathways. GPRC5B is highly expressed in kidney, pancreas and testis, and has moderate expression in brain, heart, prostate, small intestine and spleen. |

Other Names | G-protein coupled receptor family C group 5 member B, A-69G12.1, Retinoic acid-induced gene 2 protein, RAIG-2, GPRC5B, RAIG2 |
Target/Specificity | Expression is high in kidney, pancreas, and testis, medium in brain, heart, prostate, small intestine, and spleen, low in liver, placenta, skeletal muscle, colon, ovary, and thymus, and not detectable in lung and peripheral leukocyte. According to PubMed:10945465, highly expressed in most brain areas examined, with the highest levels observed in corpus callosum, caudate nucleus, putamen, substantia nigra, thalamus, hippocampus, and spinal chord as well as in dorsal root ganglia (DRG). In the periphery, expression levels are relatively low, compared to the CNS, with the strongest expression detected in pancreas, testis, uterus, and stomach. |

According to PubMed:10945465, highly expressed in most brain areas examined, with the highest levels observed in corpus callosum, caudate nucleus, putamen, substantia nigra, thalamus, hippocampus, and spinal cord as well as in dorsal root ganglia (DRG). Expressed in glia limitans, ependymal cells, astrocyte cell bodies, the perivascular region in astrocyte endfeet, but not in neurons (PubMed:37143309).
