G protein-coupled receptor 126 also known as VIGR and DREG is a protein encoded by the ADGRG6gene.[5][6][7] GPR126 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]
GPR126 is all widely expressed on stromal cells.[11] The N-terminal fragment of GPR126 contains C1r-C1s, Uegf and Bmp1 (CUB), and PTX-like modules.[12]
