Function | Adhesion G-protein coupled receptor (aGPCR) for steroid hormone 17alpha-hydroxypregnenolone (17-OH), which is involved in cell adhesion and cell-cell interactions (PubMed:39389061). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors, such as RhoA pathway (PubMed:28874577, PubMed:35418682, PubMed:39389061). ADGRG1 is coupled to G(12) and/or G(13) G proteins (GNA12 and GNA13, respectively) and mediates the activation Rho small GTPases (PubMed:22238662, PubMed:28424266, PubMed:35418682, PubMed:39389061). Acts as a potent suppressor of ferroptosis: binding to 17-OH-binding initiates signaling that down- regulates CD36 and alleviates ferroptosis-induced liver injury (By similarity). Ligand-binding also induces cell adhesion activity via association with proteins such as collagen III/COL3A1 and TGM2 (By similarity). Mediates cell matrix adhesion in developing neurons and hematopoietic stem cells (By similarity). Involved in cortical development, specifically in maintenance of the pial basement membrane integrity and in cortical lamination: association with COL3A1 in the developing brain inhibits neuronal migration via activation of the RhoA pathway (PubMed:24531968). Together with TGM2, acts as a regulator of myelination and myelin repair in oligodendrocyte precursor cells (By similarity). Acts as a hemostatic sensor of shear force: G protein- coupled receptor signaling is activated in response to shear force in platelets, promoting G(13) G protein signaling, and platelet shape change and aggregation in a COL3A1-dependent manner (PubMed:33097663). Acts as an inhibitor of VEGFA production thereby inhibiting angiogenesis through a signaling pathway mediated by PRKCA (PubMed:16757564, PubMed:19572147, PubMed:21724588). Plays a role in the maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells in bone marrow niche (By similarity). Plays an essential role in testis development (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein [Adhesion G-protein coupled receptor G1, C- terminal fragment]: Membrane raft Note=Interaction with its ligand COL3A1 leads to the release of ADGRG1 NT from the membrane and triggers the association of ADGRG1 CT with lipid rafts. |
Tissue Location | Widely distributed with highest levels found in thyroid gland, brain and heart. Expressed in a great number of tumor cells. Expression is down-regulated in different tumors from highly metastatic cells. |

Background
Involved in cell adhesion and probably in cell-cell interactions. Regulates the migration of neural precursor cells. Receptor for collagen III/COL3A1 in the developing brain and involved in regulation of cortical development, specifically in maintenance of the pial basemant membrane integrity and in cortical lamination. Binding to the COL3A1 ligand inhibits neuronal migration and activates the RhoA pathway by coupling to GNA13 and possibly GNA12. Isoforms show differences in receptor signaling, specifically in serum response element (SRE) transcriptional activation upon overexpression. Overexpression inhibits melanoma tumor growth and metastasis and, during melanoma progression, regulates VEGFA production and angiogenesis through PRKCA; unprocessed GPR56 is inhibiting and GPR56 NT is activating angiogenesis.
