GPR152
Description
The GPR152 (G protein-coupled receptor 152) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 11.
GPR152, the gene encoding for Probable G-protein coupled receptor 152, produces a protein that is a member of the large G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family. GPCRs are transmembrane proteins that play a crucial role in cell signaling by responding to a wide variety of stimuli, such as hormones, neurotransmitters, and light.
This receptor is classified as an 'orphan' receptor, meaning its specific ligand (the molecule it binds to) and signaling pathway are not yet fully understood.
GPR152 is also known as PGR5.
