Rabbit anti-Human ADGRG6 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q86SQ4

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ADGRG6

Target Full Name

Adhesion G-protein coupled receptor G6

Target Function

G-protein coupled receptor which is activated by type IV collagen, a major constituent of the basement membrane. Couples to G(i)-proteins as well as G(s)-proteins. Essential for normal differentiation of promyelinating Schwann cells and for normal myelination of axons. Regulates neural, cardiac and ear development via G-protein- and/or N-terminus-dependent signaling. May act as a receptor for PRNP which may promote myelin homeostasis.

Target Involvement

Lethal congenital contracture syndrome 9 (LCCS9)

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

G-protein coupled receptor 2 family, Adhesion G-protein coupled receptor (ADGR) subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in placenta and to a lower extent in pancreas and liver. Detected in aortic endothelial cells but not in skin microvascular endothelial cells.

Target Research Area

Target Background

This gene, which is upregulated in human umbilical vein endothelial cells, encodes a G protein-coupled receptor. Variations in this gene can affect a person's stature. Multiple transcript variants encoding different proteins have been found for this gene.
