GPR143 – Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

G-protein coupled receptor 143 is a protein encoded by the GPR143 gene in humans.[4][5][6]

Ocular albinism type 1 protein is a conserved integral membrane protein with seven transmembrane domains. It is expressed in the eye and epidermal melanocytes.[6]

The GPR143 gene is regulated by the Microphthalmia-associated transcription factor.[7][8]

L-DOPA is an endogenous ligand for OA1.[9]

Interactions[edit]

GPR143 has been shown to interact with GNAI1.[5]
