Gprc6a Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable G protein-coupled peptide receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of insulin secretion involved in cellular response to glucose stimulus; and regulation of testosterone biosynthetic process. Located in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human GPRC6A (G protein-coupled receptor class C group 6 member A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

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 rat Gprc6a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
