Name | GPRC6A |

Function | Receptor activated by multiple ligands, including osteocalcin (BGLAP), basic amino acids, and various cations (PubMed:15576628). Activated by amino acids with a preference for basic amino acids such as L-Lys, L-Arg and L-ornithine but also by small and polar amino acids (PubMed:15576628). The L-alpha amino acids respond is augmented by divalent cations Ca(2+) and Mg(2+) (By similarity). Seems to act through a G(q)/G(11) and G(i)-coupled pathway (By similarity). Regulates testosterone production by acting as a ligand for uncarboxylated osteocalcin hormone: osteocalcin-binding at the surface of Leydig cells initiates a signaling response that promotes the expression of enzymes required for testosterone synthesis in a CREB- dependent manner (By similarity). Mediates the non-genomic effects of androgens in multiple tissue (By similarity). May coordinate nutritional and hormonal anabolic signals through the sensing of extracellular amino acids, osteocalcin, divalent ions and its responsiveness to anabolic steroids (PubMed:20947496). |

Background
Members of family C of the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily, such as GPRC6A, are characterized by an evolutionarily conserved amino acid-sensing motif linked to an intramembranous 7-transmembrane loop region. Several members of GPCR family C, including GPRC6A, also have a long N-terminal domain (summary by Pi et al., 2005 [PubMed 16199532]).
