Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThis 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.

  • GPCR5A
UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: Q8NFJ5 # Unknown. This G-protein coupled receptor could be involved in modulating differentiation and maintaining homeostasis of epithelial cells. The comparable expression level in fetal lung and kidney with adult tissues suggests a possible role in embryonic development and maturation of these organs. This retinoic acid-inducible GPCR provide evidence for a possible interaction between retinoid and G-protein signaling pathways.
SIZE: 357 amino acids; 40251 Da
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Localized in the plasma membrane and perinuclear vesicles.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed at high level in fetal and adult lung tissues. Constitutively expressed in fetal kidney and adult placenta, kidney, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine, colon, stomach, and spinal chord at low to moderate levels. Not detectable in fetal heart, brain, and liver and adult heart, brain, liver, skeletal muscle, pancreas, spleen, thymus, and peripheral leukocytes. According to Ref.5: expressed at low but detectable level in pancreas and heart.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: Q8NFJ5 ## Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 3 family.
