GPR18 is an Orphan-A GPCR with no known ligand. GPR18 has been reported to be expressed at high levels in testis and spleen and at lower levels in other tissues associated with endocrine and immunologic/hematologic functions. ESTs have been isolated from human blood, bone marrow, brain, colon, liver/spleen, lymph, lymph node, testis, and tonsil libraries.Synonyms: G protein-coupled receptor 18, GPCRW, N-arachidonyl glycine receptor
