Description
ADGRD1 (Adhesion G Protein-Coupled Receptor D1, also known as GPR133) is a Protein Coding gene. 4 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. ADGRD1, an orphan member of the adhesion family of G-protein-coupled receptors, is a critical regulator of the response to hypoxia and tumor growth in Glioblastoma (GBM). ADGRD1 represents a novel molecular target in GBM and possibly other malignancies where hypoxia is fundamental to pathogenesis. Variations in the ADGRD1 locus are linked with differences in metabolism, human height, and heart frequency. ADGRD1 is a Gs protein-coupled receptor belonging to the class of adhesion GPCRs. The adhesion G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), including GPR133, are membrane-bound proteins with long N termini containing multiple domains
