Nowadays, GPR114 is a topic that has gained more and more relevance in our society. Whether due to its impact on people's daily lives, its influence on popular culture or its importance in the professional field, GPR114 has proven to be a topic of general interest. As time progresses, GPR114 continues to evolve and present new challenges, opportunities and questions for those who wish to delve into its study. In this article, we will explore some key aspects of GPR114 and its impact on different aspects of our lives, as well as its relevance today.
G protein-coupled receptor 114 is a protein encoded by the ADGRG5gene.[5][6][7] GPR114 is a member of the adhesion GPCR family.[8][9]
Adhesion GPCRs are characterized by an extended extracellular region often possessing N-terminal protein modules that is linked to a TM7 region via a domain known as the GPCR-Autoproteolysis INducing (GAIN) domain.[10]
Tissue distribution
GPR114 mRNA is specifically expressed in human eosinophils as well as in mouse lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophage, and dendritic cells.[11]
Signaling
The cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) assay in overexpressing HEK293 cells has demonstrated coupling of GPR114 to Gαs protein.[12]
