Macrophages possess different G protein-coupled receptors such as the orphan receptor GPRC5B. Here the authors characterise the function of GPRC5B in macrophages in knockout mice showing that in the absence of GPRC5B there is increased inflammatory responses and macrophage activation because of reduced EP2-mediated anti-inflammatory effects.
