GPRC6A


G protein-coupled receptor family C group 6 member A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPRC6A gene. This protein functions as a receptor of L-α-amino acids, cations, osteocalcin, and steroids. It is a membrane androgen receptor.

Clinical significance

GPRC6A has also been linked to prostate cancer progression, and it has been shown to mediate rapid, non-genomic prostate cancer cell responses to testosterone.
