GPR26
Sign in to saveAlso known as G protein-coupled receptor 26
Probable G-protein coupled receptor 26 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPR26 gene. GPR26 expression is found to peak perinatally, when the visual system is first challenged, and contains a 53 kb LD-block enriched for association with introgressed Neanderthal-derived SNPs. Additionally, it is known to form oligomeric structures with the 5-HT1a receptor.

This gene encodes a G protein-couple receptor protein. G-protein-coupled receptors are a large family of membrane proteins that are involved in cellular responses to environmental stimuli, neurotransmitters, and hormones. The encoded protein may play a role in neurodegenerative diseases. Epigenetic silencing of this gene has been observed in gliomas. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016].
