Gene: GPR139

Alternate names for this Gene: GPRg1|PGR3

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the rhodopsin family of G-protein-coupled receptors. The encoded protein is almost exclusively expressed in the central nervous system. L-tryptophan and L-phenylalanine may act as the physiologic ligands of the encoded protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 16

Location in Chromosome : 16p12.3

Description of this Gene: G protein-coupled receptor 139

Type of Gene: protein-coding
