Gene: GPR78

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the G protein-coupled receptor family, which contain 7 transmembrane domains and transduce extracellular signals through heterotrimeric G proteins. This is an orphan receptor, which displays significant level of constitutive activity. Association analysis shows preliminary evidence for the involvement of this gene in susceptibility to bipolar affective disorder and schizophrenia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 4

Location in Chromosome : 4p16.1

Description of this Gene: G protein-coupled receptor 78

Type of Gene: protein-coding
