Gene: GPR26

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a G protein-couple receptor protein. G-protein-coupled receptors are a large family of membrane proteins that are involved in cellular responses to environmental stimuli, neurotransmitters, and hormones. The encoded protein may play a role in neurodegenerative diseases. Epigenetic silencing of this gene has been observed in gliomas.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 10

Location in Chromosome : 10q26.13

Description of this Gene: G protein-coupled receptor 26

Type of Gene: protein-coding
