GPR37

Introduction

Probable G-protein coupled receptor 37 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPR37 gene.[1][2]

Interactions

Interactions

GPR37 has been shown to interact with HSPA1A[3] and Parkin (ligase).[3][4] GPR37 is a receptor for prosaposin. It was previously thought to be a receptor for head activator, a neuropeptide found in the hydra, but early reports of head activator in mammals were never confirmed.[5]
