LGR4 leucine rich repeat containing G protein-coupled receptor 4

Gene ID: 55366, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DPSL; GPR48; BNMD17

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a G-protein coupled receptor that binds R-spondins and activates the Wnt signaling pathway. This Wnt signaling pathway activation is necessary for proper development of many organs of the body. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016]
