G-protein coupled receptor 146 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPR146 gene.[5] The receptor has been shown to bind cholesin/C17orf50, a gut-derived hormone that is secreted from the intestine in response to dietary cholesterol absorption. In response to cholesin binding, GPR146 signaling inhibit cholesterol synthesis. [6] Consistent with this interaction, murine genetic disruption of GPR146 lowers serum cholesterol and reduces atherosclerotic aortic lesions.[7] GPR146 has also been identified as a possible receptor for C-peptide.[8]
