G-protein coupled receptor family C group 5 member B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPRC5B gene.[1][2][3]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the type 3 G protein-coupled receptor family. Members of this superfamily are characterized by a signature 7-transmembrane domain motif. The specific function of this protein is unknown; however, this protein may mediate the cellular effects of retinoic acid on the G protein signal transduction cascade.[3]
