ovarian cancer G-protein coupled receptor 1; OGR-1; G-protein coupled receptor 68; GPR12A; sphingosylphosphorylcholine receptor (GPR68 OGR1)

Function: - proton-sensing receptor involved in pH homeostasis - may represent an osteoblastic pH sensor regulating cell-mediated responses to acidosis in bone - mediates its action by association with G proteins that stimulate inositol phosphate production or Ca+2 mobilization - the receptor is almost silent at pH 7.8, but fully activated at pH 6.8 - function also as a metastasis suppressor gene in prostate cancer (putative) Structure: - belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family Compartment: - cell membrane; multi-pass membrane protein Expression: - found at low level in a wide range of tissues - higher expression in lung, kidney, bone & nervous system Note: - originally thought to be a receptor for sphingosylphosphorylcholine [3]; however, this work has been retracted [4]
