An orphan receptor is a receptor protein whose ligand has not been identified. Also called an “orphaned receptor.” Analysis of gene sequences revealed many proteins whose amino acid sequences partly resemble known receptor protein families but whose ligands and functions are unknown, hence the name.

オーファン受容体とはリガンドが同定されていない受容体タンパク質である。孤児受容体ともいう。遺伝子配列の解析により既知の受容体タンパク質のファミリーとアミノ酸配列の一部が類似しているが、そのリガンド・機能が不明なものが多く存在することが分かりこのように呼ばれている。
