Hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 3

Hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 3

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens


Hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 3 (HCA3), also known as niacin receptor 2 (NIACR2) and GPR109B,[5] is a protein which in humans is encoded by the HCAR3 gene.[6][7] HCA3, like the other hydroxycarboxylic acid receptors HCA1 and HCA2, is a Gi/o-coupled G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR).[5][8] The primary endogenous agonists of HCA3 are 3-hydroxyoctanoic acid and kynurenic acid.[5][8][9] HCA3 is also a low-affinity biomolecular target for niacin (aka nicotinic acid).[10]
