Background: GPR20 is one of the orphan GPCRs that has been identified from human genomic DNA by PCR amplification using primers based on the sequences of the opioid/somatostatin-related receptors, GPR7 and GPR8. The expression of human GPR20 has been detected in several brain regions, including the caudate nuclei, putamen, and the thalamus. A recently disclosed patent demonstrated that GPR20-deficient mice exhibited a hyperactivity disorder characterized by an increase in total distance traveled in an open field test, implying a substantial role of GPR20 in neurophysiological function. However, the physiological mechanisms of GPR20 action, including the identification of natural ligands for GPR20, have not yet been elucidated.
