GPR21 - G protein-coupled receptor 21 Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
About GPR21
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 136 orthologues and 25 paralogues. Low expression observed in reference dataset.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the G-protein-coupled receptor 1 family. G-protein coupled receptors are membrane proteins which activate signaling cascades as a response to extracellular stress. The encoded protein activates a Gq signal transduction pathway which mobilizes calcium. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]
