Probable G-protein coupled receptor 158 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPR158 gene.[3]

GPR158 is an orphan class C GPCR. It is highly expressed in the brain where it binds to RGS7, an inhibitor of Gi/o-coupled GPCR signaling, localizing it to the plasma membrane.[4]

GPR158 is also expressed at lower levels in other organs. It shows an unusual subcellular localization pattern, being found at both the plasma membrane and in the nucleus.[5]

GPR158 is an androgen-regulated gene that stimulates cell proliferation in prostate cancer cell lines. It is linked to neuroendocrine differentiation.[6]
