Probable G-protein coupled receptor 146 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPR146 gene.^[5]The receptor has been shown to bind a gut-derived hormone called cholesin/C17orf50 in response to dietary cholesterol.^[6] Consistent with this interaction, murine genetic disruption of GPR146 lowers serum cholesterol and reduces atherosclerotic aortic lesions.^[7] It has also been identified as a possible receptor for C-peptide.^[8]
