Gene nameHCAR3
Protein nameHydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 3 (G-protein coupled receptor 109B) (G-protein coupled receptor HM74) (G-protein coupled receptor HM74B) (Niacin receptor 2) (Nicotinic acid receptor 2)
Hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 3
SynonymsHCA3
HM74B
GPR109B
NIACR2
DescriptionFUNCTION: Receptor for 3-OH-octanoid acid mediates a negative feedback regulation of adipocyte lipolysis to counteract prolipolytic influences under conditions of physiological or pathological increases in beta-oxidation rates. Acts as a low affinity receptor for nicotinic acid. This pharmacological effect requires nicotinic acid doses that are much higher than those provided by a normal diet. .
