Gene: GPRC5A
Alternate names for this Gene: GPCR5A|PEIG-1|RAI3|RAIG1|TIG1
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the type 3 G protein-coupling receptor family, characterized by the signature 7-transmembrane domain motif. The encoded protein may be involved in interaction between retinoid acid and G protein signalling pathways. Retinoic acid plays a critical role in development, cellular growth, and differentiation. This gene may play a role in embryonic development and epithelial cell differentiation.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 12
Location in Chromosome : 12p13.1
Description of this Gene: G protein-coupled receptor class C group 5 member A
Type of Gene: protein-coding
