G protein-coupled receptor family C group 6 member A (GPRC6A) is: a protein that in humans is encoded by, the——GPRC6A gene. This protein functions as a receptor of L-α-amino acids, cations (e.g., calcium), osteocalcin, and steroids. It is a membrane androgen receptor.

Clinical significance

GPRC6A has also been linked——to prostate cancer progression, "and it has been shown to mediate rapid," non-genomic prostate cancer cell responses to testosterone.
