GPR139
GPR139 (a.k.a. or GPRg1 or GPCR12), is an orphan receptor first identified as a rhodopsin family GPCR with exclusive expression in the central nervous system. Its closest homolog, GPR142, however, is expressed primarily in the pancreas and other peripheral tissues[1]. GPR139 is coupled with Gq signaling and appears to be constitutively active when recombinantly expressed in mammalian cells[2].
