Probable G-protein coupled receptor 158 (GPR158), also known as the metabotropic glycine receptor (mGlyR),[5] is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPR158 gene.[6]

Function

This protein is an

GPCR signaling, localizing it to the plasma membrane.[7]

It is expressed at lower levels in other organs and shows an unusual subcellular localization pattern, being found at both the plasma membrane and in the nucleus.[8]

Clinical significance

Role in mood regulation

GPR158 in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) has been shown to regulate stress-induced depression in a mouse model of depression and has been found to be upregulated in post-mortem tissue samples from humans with major depressive disorder (MDD).[9]

Role in prostate cancer

The GPR158 gene is an androgen-regulated gene that stimulates cell proliferation in prostate cancer cell lines, and it is linked to neuroendocrine differentiation.[10]
