Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
G protein-coupled receptor 6 , also known as GPR6 , is a protein which in humans is encoded by the GPR6 gene .[ 5] [ 6]
GPR6 is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family of transmembrane receptors . It has been reported that GPR6 is both constitutively active but in addition is further activated by sphingosine-1-phosphate .[ 7]
GPR6 up-regulates cyclic AMP levels and promotes neurite outgrowth.[ 8]
