Probable G-protein coupled receptor 160 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPR160 gene. [5] [6] It has been shown to be important in embryonic stem cell development, is involved in the perception of neuropathic pain, and is present in elevated levels in some cancers. [7] [8] [9] [10] GPR160 has been suggested as the receptor for Cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript, also known as CART. [11] [12] [13] [14] However other research has since shown that it does not appear CART binds to GPR160 directly. [15] [16] This suggests that an as yet unidentified target for CART may modulate GPR160 mediated responses indirectly under certain conditions, but without directly binding to the GPR160 receptor.
