Background: G protein-coupled receptor 3 (GPR3), also designated ACCA orphan receptor, is a 330 amino acid member of the G protein-coupled receptor 1 family. The function of GPR3 is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylate cyclase. GPR3 is a mutli-pass membrane protein that is located on the cellular membrane of cells and is detected at low levels in the eye, kidney, lung, ovary and testis. GPR3 is most highly expressed in the central nervous system, where it stimulates the production of cAMP, leading to neurite outgrowth and myelin inhibition. In oocytes, this control over cAMP production can halt meiosis and prevent progesterone-induced meiotic maturation. Mice deficient for GPR3 are able to reproduce but have no control over the oocyte maturation process, which results in nondeveloping early embryos and fragmented oocytes as the mice age.
