Hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 3 (HCA₃), also known as niacin receptor 2 (NIACR2) and GPR109B, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the HCAR3 gene.

Function

HCA₃ is a low affinity receptor for nicotinic acid (niacin) and is a member of the hydroxycarboxylic acid family of G protein-coupled receptors (the other identified member being HCA₂).

HCA₃ is a G_i/G_o-coupled G protein-coupled receptor with low affinity for nicotinic acid.
