Description

GPR173 encodes a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family, specifically the super-conserved receptor expressed in brain (SREB) subfamily. The protein is predominantly expressed in the central nervous system and is involved in neuroendocrine signaling, potentially regulating reproductive function and energy homeostasis.

Protein Summary

GPR173 is a 377-amino acid integral membrane protein with seven transmembrane domains typical of GPCRs. It is highly conserved across vertebrates and is thought to modulate intracellular cAMP levels via G protein coupling. Expression is enriched in brain regions such as the hypothalamus and cortex, suggesting roles in neuroendocrine control.
