Product details:
Although we aim to provide customers with a homozygous clone, feasibility will be dependent on the biology of the protein. Should only heterozygous edits be achieved, you will be notified of the outcome and be asked to confirm whether the cell line is acceptable. All clones will be accompanied with DNA sequencing data, and the mutation description.
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

GPR56 also known as ADGRG1 is a G protein-coupled receptor. It has a mass of around 75 kDa. It plays an essential role in cellular signaling. Found in various tissues GPR56 is expressed significantly in brain and prostate tissue. This receptor is part of the adhesion GPCR family characterized by its large N-terminal region which is involved in cell adhesion and interaction. The mechanical functions of GPR56 involve regulating cell communication which influences cellular growth and behavior.
Biological function summary
GPR56 participates in brain development particularly in the formation of the cerebral cortex. It interacts with extracellular matrix components like collagen III which impacts cell adhesion and migration processes. GPR56 does not commonly form complexes but interacts with other cell membrane molecules to carry out its biological roles. Research indicates its involvement in cellular processes such as cell signaling pathways and the maintenance of tissue integrity.
Pathways
GPR56 is involved in both the inside-out and outside-in signaling pathways. In these pathways GPR56 modulates cell adhesion and migration dynamics. Related proteins such as collagen III interact with GPR56 to facilitate these processes. Furthermore the receptor interacts with integrin signaling pathways that help regulate the homeostasis of the extracellular matrix proving critical in maintaining normal cellular physiology.
Mutations or dysregulation of GPR56 have been associated with brain malformations such as bilateral frontoparietal polymicrogyria. It also plays a role in certain cancers including melanoma where its function in cell adhesion contributes to metastasis. Researchers study its relationship with proteins like integrins which when altered may contribute to cancer progression. Understanding GPR56's roles could offer new insights into potential therapeutic targets for these conditions.
