G-protein coupled receptor 56 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPR56 gene. The gene product is a member of the adhesion-GPCR family of receptors. Family members are characterized by an extended extracellular region with a variable number of protein domains coupled to a TM7 domain via a domain known as the GPCR-Autoproteolysis INducing (GAIN) domain. [1] [2] [3] [4][5][6] GPR56 has been shown to have numerous role in cell guidance/adhesion as exemplified by its roles in tumour inhibition and neuron development [7],[8]. More recently it has been shown to be a marker for cytotoxic T cells and a subgroup of Natural killer cells[9]

In melanocytic cells GPR56 gene expression may be regulated by MITF.[10]
