ADGRG1 adhesion G protein-coupled receptor G1

Gene ID: 9289, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: BFPP; BPPR; GPR56; TM7LN4; TM7XN1; CDCBM14B; CDCBM15A

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family and regulates brain cortical patterning. The encoded protein binds specifically to transglutaminase 2, a component of tissue and tumor stroma implicated as an inhibitor of tumor progression. Mutations in this gene are associated with a brain malformation known as bilateral frontoparietal polymicrogyria. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
