GPR88
gene geneOn this page
Summary
GPR88 (G protein-coupled receptor 88, HGNC:4539) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p21.2, encoding G protein-coupled receptor 88 (Q9GZN0). Orphan G protein-coupled receptor implicated in a large repertoire of behavioral responses that engage motor activities, spatial learning, and emotional processing.
The protein encoded by this gene is a G protein-coupled receptor found almost exclusively in the striatum, a brain structure that controls motor function and cognition. Defects in this gene have been associated with chorea, speech delay, and learning difficulties, as well as some neuropsychiatric disorders.

Genetic regulation across tissues (GTEx eQTL / sQTL)
GPR88 is an eGene in GTEx v10 — its expression is genetically regulated (eQTL) in 18 tissues and its splicing (sQTL) in 0 (q < 0.05). Strongest associations first; slope = normalized effect of the lead variant’s alternative allele.

- Study designed and synthesized a series of 2-PCCA analogues bearing a variety of substituents at the phenyl ring of the aniline moiety to determine the structure-activity relationship (SAR) in this region; SAR studies suggested that there is a hydrophobic pocket in the GPR88 binding site interacting with the aniline region of 2-PCCA (PMID:27499251)
- Activation and allosteric regulation of the orphan GPR88-Gi1 signaling complex. (PMID:35501348)

G protein-coupled receptor 88 — Q9GZN0 (reviewed: Q9GZN0)
Alternative names: Striatum-specific G protein-coupled receptor
All UniProt accessions (1): Q9GZN0
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Orphan G protein-coupled receptor implicated in a large repertoire of behavioral responses that engage motor activities, spatial learning, and emotional processing. May play a role in the regulation of cognitive and motor function. Couples with the heterotrimeric G protein complex of the G(i) subfamily, consisting of GNAI1, GNB1 and GNG2, thereby acting through a G(i)-mediated pathway. Plays a role in the attenuation of D1 dopamine receptor (D1R)-mediated cAMP response in ciliated cells. In non-ciliated cells, involved in the inhibition of the beta-2 adrenergic receptor (B2AR) response.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Cell projection. Cilium membrane. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Expressed predominantly in the striatum.
Disease relevance. Chorea, childhood-onset, with psychomotor retardation (COCPMR) [MIM:616939] An autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by abnormal involuntary movements, marked speech delay, intellectual disability and learning difficulties. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the G protein-coupled receptor 1 family.
