Description

ADGRV1 encodes a member of the adhesion G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family. The protein, also known as VLGR1, is a very large GPCR involved in cell adhesion and signaling. It is essential for the development and function of sensory cells in the inner ear and retina. Mutations in ADGRV1 cause Usher syndrome type 2C, characterized by congenital hearing loss and progressive retinitis pigmentosa.

Protein Summary

ADGRV1 encodes a large adhesion GPCR (VLGR1) with a long extracellular domain containing multiple calcium-binding and laminin-like repeats. It localizes to the stereocilia of hair cells and the periciliary region of photoreceptors, mediating cell-matrix interactions and signaling. The protein is critical for the structural integrity of sensory cells.
