TRANSCRIPTIONALLY REGULATED G PROTEIN-COUPLED RECEPTOR

摘要

A G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), called G2A, whose expression is regulated and functions at the G2/M checkpoint to ensure properly controlled duplication of hematopoietic cells. The receptor is found predominantly in hematopoietic cells and tissues and functions as a tumor suppressor gene and induces cell cycle arrest. This receptor may play an important role in regulating the proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic cells. Regulation of receptor activity has several therapeutic applications.
