General description
GPRC5B (G protein-coupled receptor, class C, group 5, member B) is a type 3 G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR), belonging to the Raig subfamily. It contains the seven transmembrane domains characteristic of the GPCR family. Raig subfamily members have a small N-terminal, and apart from GPRC5B, this subfamily contains three other members. This protein is highly expressed in the spinal cord and brain, and has a molecular weight of 68kDa. It is also called retinoic acid- induced gene 2 (RAIG-2). This gene is localized to human chromosome 16p12, and codes for a protein composed of 403 amino acids.

Application
All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies® protocols and other useful information.

Biochem/physiol Actions
GPRC5B (G protein-coupled receptor, class C, group 5, member B) is an orphan receptor, and is thought to be involved in Wnt signaling. The expression of this protein, when suppressed in spinal cord neurons, leads to alterations in the activation of microglial cells. This down-regulation is also associated with neuropathic pain. The intracellular trafficking of this protein via exosomes, leads to cellular outward growth in a hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)-dependent manner. It also acts as a marker to determine the degree of acute kidney injury (AKI). In type-2 diabetes, the expression of this protein is elevated, which results in decreased β-cell viability and secretion of insulin. Thus, it might have potential as a therapeutic target for type-2 diabetes. It also has a role in adipose signaling, and thus is associated with diet-associated obesity. It also links obesity to type-2 diabetes.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

How cells communicate during development and regeneration is a critical question. One mechanism of intercellular communication is via exosomes, extracellular vesicles that originate by the fusion of multivesicular endosomes with the plasma membrane [1-8]. To model exosome-based intercellular communication, we
