PEIG-1, RAI3, RAIG1, TIG1
Description
G protein-coupled receptor, class C, group 5, member A (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the type 3 G protein-coupling receptor family, characterized by the signature 7-transmembrane domain motif. The encoded protein may be involved in interaction between retinoid acid and G protein signalling pathways. Retinoic acid plays a critical role in development, cellular growth, and differentiation. This gene may play a role in embryonic development and epithelial cell differentiation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
