GPR124

Probable G-protein coupled receptor 124 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPR124 gene. It is a member of the adhesion-GPCR family of receptors. Family members are characterized by an extended extracellular region with a variable number of protein domains coupled to a TM7 domain via a domain known as the GPCR-Autoproteolysis INducing domain.

Interactions

GPR124 has been shown to interact with DLG1 and is involved in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway along with RECK. GPR124 is the predicted target of several Group IV ssRNA neuroinvasive viruses; proteolytic cleavage of GPR124 by these viral proteases may be important for entry into the brain. GPR124 was predicted using SSHHPS.
