Data Sheet

Background: GPRC5A (also known as retinoic induced GPR) is a member of the type three GPR class. This protein contains seven trans-membrane domains when located within the membrane. It appears to play a role in the interaction of retinoic acid and G protein signaling pathways. Since retinoic acid is important for cellular growth and differentiation, the receptor may play a role in embryonic development and cellular differentiation within epithelial cells.

Application: Functional assays
