GPR112

G protein-coupled receptor 112 is a protein encoded by the ADGRG4 gene. GPR112 is a member of the adhesion GPCR family. 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.

G protein-coupled receptor 112 is a protein encoded by the ADGRG4 gene.56 GPR112 is a member of the adhesion GPCR family.78 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.9

GPR112 is expressed in human enterochromaffin cells10 and in the mouse intestine.11 The N-terminal fragment (NTF) of GPR112 contains pentraxin (PTX)-like modules.11 GPR112 gene expression has been identified as a marker for neuroendocrine carcinoma cells.10
