No evidence for a bone phenotype in GPRC6A knockout mice under normal physiological conditions.

Abstract excerpt

GPRC6A is a seven-transmembrane receptor mediating signaling by a wide range of L-alpha-amino acids, a signaling augmented by the divalent cations Ca(2)(+) and Mg(2)(+). GPRC6A transcripts are detected in numerous mammalian tissues, but the physiological role of the receptor is thus far elusive. Analogously to the closely related calcium-sensing receptor, GPRC6A has been proposed to function as a metabolic sensor...
