Background: GPRC5B (G protein-coupled receptor family C group 5 member B, retinoic acid-induced gene 2 protein) is a 403 amino acid protein encoded by the human GPRC5B gene. GPRC5B is an orphan receptor member of the G protein-coupled receptor 3 family. G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs or GPRs) contain 7 transmembrane domains and transduce extracellular signals through heterotrimeric G proteins. Key roles for G protein-coupled receptors include control of protein maturation and cell surface delivery, and providing the correct framework for interactions with both heterotrimeric G proteins and arrestins to allow signal generation and termination. This retinoic acid-inducible G protein-coupled receptor provides evidence for a possible interaction between retinoid and G protein signaling pathways. GPRC5B is highly expressed in kidney, pancreas and testis, and has moderate expression in brain, heart, prostate, small intestine and spleen.
