Abstract

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), the largest cell surface receptor superfamily, are involved in many physiological and pathological processes. G protein-coupled receptor 3 (Gpr3) is a newly discovered sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor, which directly or indirectly takes part in regulating the processes of nervous system and follicle development in the vertebrates. As a potential therapeutic drug target for a variety of neurological diseases and premature ovarian failure, its physiological function and biological mechanisms deserve further studies. In this paper, we reviewed the functions of Gpr3 in the processes of nervous system development and ovarian follicular development in the vertebrates.
