{"symbol":"GPRC5A","synonyms":["PEIG-1","GPCR5A","RAIG1","RAI3"],"name":"G protein-coupled receptor, class C, group 5, member A","description":"This gene encodes a member of the type 3 G protein-coupling receptor family, characterized by the signature 7-transmembrane domain motif. The encoded protein may be involved in interaction between retinoid acid and G protein signalling pathways. Retinoic acid plays a critical role in development, cellular growth, and differentiation. This gene may play a role in embryonic development and epithelial cell differentiation.
