G protein-coupled receptor family C group 6 member A (GPRC6A) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPRC6A gene.^[5] This protein functions as a receptor of L-α- amino acids,^[6] cations (e.g., calcium),^[7] osteocalcin,^[8] and steroids.^[9] 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.^[10]
