G protein-coupled receptor family C group 6 member A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPRC6A gene.[1] This receptor functions as a sensor of L-amino acids,[2] calcium,[3] osteocalcin,[4] and steroids.[5]

Clinical significance

GPRC6A has also been linked to prostate cancer progression, and it has been shown to mediate rapid, non-genomic prostate cancer cell responses to testosterone.[6]
