Preparation and Storage
Background: GPR12
GPR12 is a 7-transmembrane receptor for sphingosylphosphorylcholine. Human GPR12 and the related GPR3 and GPR6 are all highly expressed on neurons of the central nervous system, while GPR12 is particularly expressed in the limbic system. GPR12 engagement promotes proliferation and maturation of postmitotic neurons through an inhibitory G protein and cAMP signaling pathway.
