Probable G-protein coupled receptor 75 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPR75 gene.[5][6]

Function

GPR75 is a member of the

guanine-nucleotide binding proteins upon the binding of a ligand.[6]

GPR75 is currently classified as an orphan GPCR and several studies are underway to identify its ligand. In one study, the chemokine

inositol triphosphate formation in GPR75-transfected cells.[7]

A 2021 study reported that people with protein-truncating variants of GPR75 were associated with 5.3kg lower body weight and 54% lower odds for obesity. GPR75 knock-out mice showed resistance to weight gain under high-fat diet.[8]
