Orphan G protein–coupled receptor GPR56 plays a role in cell transformation and tumorigenesis involving the cell adhesion pathway

Abstract excerpt

GPR56 is an orphan G protein - coupled receptor, mutations of which have recently been associated with bilateral frontoparietal polymicrogyria, a rare neurologic disease that has implications in brain development. However, no phenotype beyond central nervous system has yet been described for the GPR56-null mutations despite abundant GPR56 expression in many non - central nervous system adult tissues. In the...
