Introduction of ADGRL1
ADGRL1, also known as latrophilin-1 (LPHN1), is a key member of the adhesion G protein-coupled receptor (aGPCR) family. This receptor is characterized by a unique structure and function, including a process of autoproteolysis that cleaves it into two non-covalently associated fragments: the heptahelical C-terminal fragment (CTF) and the large extracellular N-terminal fragment (NTF). These fragments can exist as separate proteins within the plasma membrane, with their affinity for one another regulated by phosphorylation. Studies have highlighted the profound clinical relevance of ADGRL1, demonstrating that haploinsufficiency leads to a consistent spectrum of neurodevelopmental, neurological, and behavioral abnormalities in both human and animal models.
