HGNC Approved Gene Symbol:GPR15
Cytogenetic location:3q11.2 Genomic coordinates(GRCh38) :3:98,531,978-98,534,681 (from NCBI)
Using primers based on conserved regions of the opioid-related receptors (e.g.,165196),Heiber et al. (1996) isolated a PCR product that they then used to locate the full-length coding region of a novel human receptor gene, GPR15. GPR15 shares sequence identity with the angiotensin II receptors type 1 (106165) and type 2 (300034), the interleukin 8 b receptor (146928), and the orphan receptors GPR1 (600239) and angiotensin receptor-like 1 (600052).
By fluorescence in situ hybridization,Heiber et al. (1996) mapped GPR15 to 3q11.2-q13.1.
Kim et al. (2013) showed that GPR15, an orphan heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)-coupled receptor, controlled the specific homing of T cells, particularly FOXP3 (300292)-positive regulatory cells (T-regs), to the large intestine lamina propria. GPR15 expression was modulated by gut microbiota and transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGFB1;190180), but not by retinoic acid. GPR15-deficient mice were prone to develop more severe large intestine inflammation, which was rescued by the transfer of GPR15-sufficient T-regs.Kim et al. (2013) concluded that their findings described a T-cell homing receptor for the large intestine lamina propria and indicated that GPR15 plays a role in mucosal immune tolerance largely by regulating the influx of T-regs.

Dear OMIM User,
To ensure long-term funding for the OMIM project, we have diversified our revenue stream. We are determined to keep this website freely accessible. Unfortunately, it is not free to produce. Expert curators review the literature and organize it to facilitate your work. Over 90% of the OMIM's operating expenses go to salary support for MD and PhD science writers and biocurators. Please join your colleagues by making a donation now and again in the future. Donations are an important component of our efforts to ensure long-term funding to provide you the information that you need at your fingertips.
Thank you in advance for your generous support,
