G-protein coupled receptor family C group 5 member B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPRC5B gene.{{cite journal |vauthors=Loftus BJ, Kim UJ, Sneddon VP, Kalush F, Brandon R, Fuhrmann J, Mason T, Crosby ML, Barnstead M, Cronin L, Deslattes Mays A, Cao Y, Xu RX, Kang HL, Mitchell S, Eichler EE, Harris PC, Venter JC, Adams MD | title = Genome duplications and other features in 12 Mb of DNA sequence from human chromosome 16p and 16q | journal = Genomics | volume = 60 | issue = 3 | pages = 295–308 | date = Nov 1999 | pmid = 10493829 | doi = 10.1006/geno.1999.5927 }}{{cite journal |vauthors=Bräuner-Osborne H, Krogsgaard-Larsen P | title = Sequence and expression pattern of a novel human orphan G-protein-coupled receptor, GPRC5B, a family C receptor with a short amino-terminal domain | journal = Genomics | volume = 65 | issue = 2 | pages = 121–8 | date = Jul 2000 | pmid = 10783259 | doi = 10.1006/geno.2000.6164 }}{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: GPRC5B G protein-coupled receptor, family C, group 5, member B| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=51704}}

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.
