Function | Constitutively active G-protein coupled receptor that maintains high 3'-5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels that a plays a role in serveral processes including meiotic arrest in oocytes or neuronal development via activation of numerous intracellular signaling pathways. Acts as an essential activator of thermogenic adipocytes and drives thermogenesis via its intrinsic G(s)- coupling activity without the requirement of a ligand (PubMed:34048700). Has a potential role in modulating a number of brain functions, including behavioral responses to stress (By similarity), amyloid-beta peptide generation in neurons (By similarity). Stimulates neurite outgrowth in cerebellar granular neurons modulated via PKA, ERK, and most strongly PI3K-mediated signaling pathways (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. |
Tissue Location | Expressed predominantly in the central nervous system, and at low levels in the lung, kidney, testis, ovary and eye Highly expressed in regions of the brain implicated in the Alzheimer disease |

Background
GPR3 Antibody: GPR3, also known as ACCA, is a G-protein coupled receptor that constitutively activates adenylate cyclase and is highly expressed in the central nervous system. Overexpression of GPR3 stimulates the production of amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta), the deposition of which is one of the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer 's disease (AD), while the ablation of GPR3 prevented the accumulation of Abeta in vitro and in an AD mouse model. This is of particular interest because of the proximity of a reported candidate Alzheimer 's disease (AD) locus, suggesting that GPR3 may be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of AD. GPR3 has also been shown to block the proliferation of cerebellar granule cell precursors (GCP) during postnatal development by inhibiting the Shh-induced proliferation of GCP, indicating that GPR3 activation may represent one of the signals that triggers the postnatal cell cycle exit and terminal differentiation of GPCs.
