Obsolete resource : true;
NCIt synonyms : GPR39; Putative G Protein-Coupled Receptor GPR39;
NCIt definition : Widely expressed by human GPR39 Gene (GPCR1 Family), 453-aa 51-kDa 7-transmembrane
orphan G Protein-Coupled Receptor 39 exhibits high homology to the growth hormone
secretagogue receptor (GHSR). (NCI); GPR39 is a single-copy gene, expressed in brain and other peripheral tissues. It encodes
G Protein-Coupled Receptor 39, which has high homology to the growth hormone secretagogue
receptor (GHSR), a G protein-coupled receptor found in the pituitary gland and brain
that is involved in the control of growth hormone release. The ligand-binding and
functional properties of GPR39 remain to be determined. (from OMIM and Genomics 1997;46:426-34);
