Abstract:ADGRV1 is the largest member of adhesion G protein-coupled receptor (aGPCR) family. In the cell, aGPCRs have dual roles in cell adhesion and signal transduction. Mutations in ADGRV1 have been linked not only to Usher syndrome (USH), which causes deaf-blindness, but recently also to various forms of epilepsy. While the USH defects are attributed to the loss of fiber links between membranes formed by the extracellular domain of ADGRV1, the pathomechanisms leading to epilepsy remain elusive to date. Here, we stud… Show more
