Generic protein structure example

G-protein coupled receptor family C group 5 member C is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPRC5C gene.[1][2]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the type 3 G protein-coupled receptor family. Members of this superfamily are characterized by a signature 7-transmembrane domain motif. The specific function of this protein is unknown; however, this protein may mediate the cellular effects of retinoic acid on the G protein signal transduction cascade. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[2]
