Leucine-rich repeat-containing G-protein coupled receptor 5 (LGR5) also known as G-protein coupled receptor 49 (GPR49) or G-protein coupled receptor 67 (GPR67) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LGR5 gene. It is a member of GPCR class A orphan receptor proteins. LGR5 is expressed across a diverse range of tissue such as in the muscle placenta spinal cord and brain and particularly as a biomarker of adult stem cells in certain tissues.
