G protein-coupled receptor family C group 6 member A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPRC6A gene.[4] This protein functions as a receptor of L-α-amino acids,[5] cations (e.g., calcium),[6] osteocalcin,[7] and steroids.[8] It is a membrane androgen receptor.

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.[9]
