SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	may be involved in neuropeptide signaling pathway
	playing an important role in cell-adhesion and potentially in inflammation and coagulation
	regulates the proliferation of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells and airway smooth muscle cells
	required autonomously in Schwann cells for myelination
	drives the differentiation of promyelinating Schwann cells by elevating cAMP levels, thereby triggering SLC22a16 expression and myelination
	potentially equired for embryonic viability and cardiovascular development
	essential for myelination and other aspects of peripheral nerve development in mammals
	new roles in axonal sorting, formation of mature non-myelinating Schwann cells and organization of the perineurium
	is required for proper trabeculation, contraction, and energy metabolism of the heart
	acts as a receptor to drive myelin gene expression in PNS Schwann cells, whereas in the heart, the N-terminus of GPR126 acts as a ligand or coreceptor activating an unknown receptor
	directly increases cAMP by coupling to heterotrimeric G-proteins
	functions potentially in Schwann cells for proper development and myelination and these functions are mediated via G-protein-signaling pathways
	modulates both physiological and pathological angiogenesis through VEGFA signaling, providing a potential target for the treatment of angiogenesis-related diseases
	is critical for myelination of peripheral nerves
	has also been implicated in bone mineralization
	ADGRG6 is essential for Schwann cells (SCs) development and myelination
	adhesion G protein-coupled receptor essential for Schwann cell (SC) myelination with important contributions to repair after nerve crush injury
	ADGRG6 contributes to the terminal Schwann cell response at the neuromuscular junction following peripheral nerve injury
	ADGRG6 extracellular regions (ECRs) utilizes a multi-faceted dynamic approach to regulate receptor function and provide relevant insights for ECR-targeted drug design
	ADGRG6 is essential for placental development
	possible role of ADGRG6 in kidney physiology
	critical developmental roles in Schwann cell maturation and its mediated myelination in the peripheral nervous system
	is likely involved in mounting an epithelial inflammatory response to smoke exposure

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

	Gpr126 deletion causes heart phenotypes in mice causing embryonic lethality
	a mutation in Gpr126 causes a severe congenital hypomyelinating peripheral neuropathy in mice
	Gpr126-/- mice have a lethal arthrogryposis phenotype
	Gpr126-null mice with a heterozygous placenta survive but exhibit GPR126-defective peripheral nervous system (PNS) phenotype
