Generic protein structure example

Probable G-protein coupled receptor 12 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPR12 gene.[1][2][3]

The gene product of GPR12 is an orphan receptor, meaning that its endogenous ligand is currently unknown. Gene disruption of GPR12 in mice results in dyslipidemia and obesity.[4]
