G protein-coupled receptor 32, also known as GPR32 or the RvD1 receptor, is a human gene belonging to the rhodopsin-like subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors.[1] GPR32 is most closely related to the chemotaxic formyl peptide receptors.[2]

At least 5 members of the D series of resolvins (RvDs) viz., RvD1, AT-RVD1, RvD3, AT-RvD3, and RvD5, activate their target cells through this receptor; these results have led to naming GPR32 the RVD1 receptor (see Resolvin#Mechanisms of Action).[3][4][5] RvDs are metabolites of the omega-3 fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid, that are implicated as contributing to the inhibition and resolution of a diverse range of inflammation and inflammation-related responses as well as in the healing of these inflammatory lesions in animals and humans (see Resolvin).
