Introduction of ADGRG1
ADGRG1, also known as G-protein coupled receptor 56 (GPR56) or Protein TM7XN1 (TM7XN1), is a protein encoded by the ADGRG1 gene. It is a member of the adhesion GPCR family, which are characterized by an extended extracellular region often possessing N-terminal protein modules that are linked to a TM7 region via a domain known as the GPCR-Autoproteolysis Inducing (GAIN) domain. It has a 377-residue ECR composed of two domains: an N-terminal pentraxin and laminin/neurexin/sex hormone-binding globulin-like (PLL) domain and a GAIN domain.

Function of ADGRG1 Membrane Protein
During the past years, ADGRG1 has been extensively studied. It has been reported that ADGRG1 is widely expressed in many tissues, such as liver, muscle, neural, and cytotoxic lymphoid cells in human as well as in hematopoietic precursor, muscle, and developing neural cells in the mouse. Also, it is involved in diverse biological processes, including but not limited to cell guidance/adhesion, tumor inhibition, and neuron development. Studies have suggested that ADGRG1 is able to regulate cell adhesion through cell-ECM interaction and G-protein-coupled signaling.What’s more, ADGRG1can also be used as a marker for cytotoxic T cells and a subgroup of natural killer cells. Recently, research reports that GPR56 is downregulated in metastatic melanoma and could inhibit the growth and metastasis of the human melanoma cell line, MC-1.
Application of ADGRG1 Membrane Protein in Literature

This article reports that microglia-derived transglutaminase-2 (TG2) signal to ADGRG1 on OL precursor cells (OPCs) in the presence of the ECM protein laminin and that TG2/laminin-dependent activation of ADGRG1 promotes OPC proliferation. It indicates that ADGRG1 is involved in the novel glia-to-glia signaling pathway which could promote myelin formation and repair, and suggest new strategies to enhance remyelination.

This article suggests that Gpr56 plays a role in the regulation of the development and maintenance of peripheral myelin.

This article suggests that GPR56 in melanoma metastases could inhibit ECM accumulation and adhesion, which contributes to its negative effects on metastatic growth.

This article reveals that GPR56 can be used as an inhibitor of the nuclear factor kappaB (NF-κB) signaling pathway, thereby providing the rationale by which this receptor prevents mesenchymal differentiation and radioresistance.

This report suggests that sGPR56 is present in vivo and the sGPR56 level is elevated in certain chronic inflammatory diseases such as RA. Hence, sGPR56 might be considered a potential biomarker for RA disease progression.
