Gprc5b Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables protein kinase binding activity and protein kinase inhibitor activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; positive regulation of neuron differentiation; and positive regulation of signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including glucose homeostasis; positive regulation of neuron projection development; and positive regulation of protein kinase activity. Located in cell surface. Is active in membrane raft. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts. Orthologous to human GPRC5B (G protein-coupled receptor class C group 5 member B).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Gprc5b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
