GPR174


Description

The GPR174 (G protein-coupled receptor 174) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome X.

GPR174, also known as Probable G-protein coupled receptor 174, is a protein encoded by the GPR174 gene in humans.

GPR174 is a G protein-coupled receptor for lysophosphatidylserine (LysoPS) that plays a role in immune response. It downregulates regulatory T-cell activity, suppresses IL-2 production in activated T-lymphocytes, and contributes to macrophage polarization during sepsis. Upon testosterone treatment, it acts as a receptor for CCL21, triggering calcium flux and promoting CD86 upregulation in follicular B-cells.

GPR174 is also known as FKSG79, GPCR17, LPS3, LYPSR3.
