GeneID: 315

Description:
This gene encodes a member of the G-protein coupled, 7-transmembrane receptor (GPCR) superfamily. The adhesion family of GPCRs (aGPCRs) is unique among all GPCR families with long N-termini and multiple domains that are implicated in cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. The encoded protein is expressed in the central nervous system. Mutations in this gene are associated with Usher syndrome 2 and familial febrile seizures. Genetic variance in ADGRV1 gene associated with episodes of pain in patients with sickle cell disease.
