Generic protein structure example

G protein-coupled receptor 126 also known as VIGR and DREG is a protein encoded by the ADGRG6 gene.[1][2][3] GPR126 is a member of the adhesion GPCR family.[4][5] Adhesion GPCRs are characterized by an extended extracellular region often possessing N-terminal protein modules that is linked to a TM7 region via a domain known as the GPCR-Autoproteolysis INducing (GAIN) domain.[6]

GPR126 is all widely expressed on stromal cells.[7] The N-terminal fragment of GPR126 contains C1r-C1s, Uegf and Bmp1 (CUB), and PTX-like modules.[8]

Ligand

GPR126 was shown to bind collagen IV and laminin-211 promoting cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) to mediate myelination.[9][10]

Signaling

Upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or thrombin stimulation, expression of GPR126 is induced by MAP kinases in endothelial cells.[8] During angiogenesis, GPR126 promotes protein kinase A (PKA)–cAMP-activated signaling in endothelial cells.[11] Forced GPR126 expression in COS-7 cells enhances cAMP levels by coupling to heterotrimeric Gαs/i proteins.[12]

Function

GPR126 has been identified in genomic regions associated with adult height, more specially trunk height,[13][14][15] pulmonary function[16] and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.[17] In the vertebrate nervous system, many axons are surrounded by a myelin sheath to conduct action potentials rapidly and efficiently. Applying a genetic screen in zebrafish mutants, Talbot’s group demonstrated that GPR126 affects the development of myelinated axons.[18] GPR126 drives the differentiation of Schwann cells through inducing cAMP levels, which causes Oct6 transcriptional activities to promote myelin gene activity.[19] Mutation of gpr126 in zebrafish affects peripheral myelination. Monk’s group demonstrated domain-specific functions of GPR126 during Schwann cells development: the NTF is necessary and sufficient for axon sorting, while the CTF promotes wrapping through cAMP induction to regulate early and late stages of Schwann cells development.[10]

Outside of neurons, GPR126 function is required for heart and inner ear development.[20][21][22] GPR126 stimulates VEGF signaling and angiogenesis by modulating VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) expression through STAT5 and GATA2 in endothelial cells.[11]

Disease

Mouse models have shown GPR126 deletion to affect cartilage biology and spinal column development,[23] supporting findings that variants of GPR126 have been associated with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis,[17] and Mutations have been shown to be responsible for severe arthrogryposis multiplex congenita [24]
