Function | G-protein coupled receptor involved in the regulation of cell volume. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Localized in the plasma membrane and perinuclear vesicles |
Tissue Location | 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 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). In the periphery, expression levels are relatively low, compared to the CNS, with the strongest expression detected in pancreas, testis, uterus, and stomach. |

Background
GPRC5B is a member of the type 3G protein-coupled receptor family. Members of this superfamily arecharacterized by a signature 7-transmembrane domain motif. Thespecific function of this protein is unknown; however, this proteinmay mediate the cellular effects of retinoic acid on the G proteinsignal transduction cascade.
