{"symbol":"GPR21","synonyms":[],"name":"G protein-coupled receptor 21","description":"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.
