Summary
GPR37 (G protein-coupled receptor 37, HGNC:4494) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 7q31.33, encoding Prosaposin receptor GPR37 (O15354). G-protein-coupled receptor that plays a role in several physiological pathways such as resolution of inflammatory pain and oligodendrocyte differentiation.
This gene is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family. The encoded protein contains seven transmembrane domains and is found in cell and endoplasmic reticulum membranes. G protein-coupled receptors are involved in translating outside signals into G protein mediated intracellular effects. This gene product interacts with Parkin and is involved in juvenile Parkinson disease.

Function. G-protein-coupled receptor that plays a role in several physiological pathways such as resolution of inflammatory pain and oligodendrocyte differentiation. Acts as a receptor for several ligands including prosaposin, osteocalcin or neuroprotectin D1. Ligand binding induces endocytosis, followed by an ERK phosphorylation cascade. Acts as a receptor for osteocalcin (OCN) to regulate oligodendrocyte differentiation and central nervous system myelination. Mechanistically, plays a negative role in oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination during development via activation of the ERK1/2 signaling pathway. Therefore, regulates the stability of myelin or resistance of myelin itself to demyelination. Upon activation by neuroprotectin D1 (NPD1), promotes the activation of phagocytosis in macrophages as well as the shift in cytokine release toward an anti-inflammatory profile, and thus helps to reverse inflammatory pain. In addition, the increased macrophage phagocytosis mediates protection against sepsis upon pathogen infection. Additionally, extracellular vesicles derived from efferocyte express prosaposin, which binds to macrophage GPR37 to increase expression of the efferocytosis receptor TIM4 via an ERK-AP1-dependent signaling axis, leading to increased macrophage efferocytosis efficiency and accelerated resolution of inflammation. May also act as a maturation factor of LRP6, protecting LRP6 from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated protein degradation (ERAD) and thereby promoting the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway.
Subunit / interactions. Forms a complex with PRKN, STUB1 and HSP70. The amount of STUB1 in the complex increases during ER stress. STUB1 promotes the dissociation of HSP70 from PRKN, thus facilitating PRKN-mediated GPR37 ubiquitination. Interacts with PACRG. Interacts with MPDZ. Interacts with CNTNAP2. Interacts with LRP6; this interaction promotes LRP6 maturation.
Subcellular location. Cell projection. Dendrite. Synapse. Cell membrane. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in brain and spinal cord, and at lower levels in testis, placenta and liver, but no detectable expression observed in any other tissue. When overexpressed in cells, tends to become insoluble and unfolded. Accumulation of the unfolded protein may lead to dopaminergic neuronal death in juvenile Parkinson disease (PDJ).
Post-translational modifications. The N-terminus is cleaved by ADAM10 metalloproteinase; mediating limited proteolysis leading to the release of receptor ectodomain by shedding. In addition, cleaved by FURIN between Arg-54 and Asp-55. Ubiquitinated by PRKN in the presence of UBE2E1 and UBE2L3 in the endoplasmic reticulum. The unfolded form is specifically ubiquitinated by SYVN1, which promotes its proteasomal degradation and prevents neuronal cell death.
Similarity. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 67 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
