This retinoic acid-inducible G-protein coupled receptor provide evidence for a possible interaction between retinoid and G-protein signaling pathways. Localized in the plasma membrane and perinuclear vesicles. Expression is highest in the periphery, particularly in the stomach, but also in the kidney, liver, pancreas, and prostate. In brain, levels of expression are generally lower than in the periphery, with the exception of cerebellum, spinal cord, and dorsal root ganglia (DRG). By all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA). Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 3 family.
