GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PROKR2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
dJ680N4.3, GPR73b, GPR73L1, GPRg2, KAL3, PKR2
Description
Prokineticin receptor 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Prokineticins are secreted proteins that can promote angiogenesis and induce strong gastrointestinal smooth muscle contraction. The protein encoded by this gene is an integral membrane protein and G protein-coupled receptor for prokineticins. The encoded protein is similar in sequence to GPR73, another G protein-coupled receptor for prokineticins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
