Abstract [en]

Adhesion G protein–coupled receptors (aGPCRs) constitute a structurally and functionally distinct group within the superfamily of GPCRs. In 2015, the International Union of Pharmacology invited the Adhesion GPCR Consortium to publish a comprehensive review about aGPCRs and establish a unified nomenclature. Since then, substantial progress has been made in delineating the biological roles, molecular architecture, biochemical properties, expression profiles, ligand repertoire, and activation and signaling strategies of aGPCRs. Commensurate with these advances, their relevance to human pathophysiology has become increasingly apparent. In a coordinated effort, the Adhesion GPCR Consortium has reviewed recent progress in this field and provides a comprehensive assessment of the current understanding of aGPCR biology, including a focus on human and mammalian aGPCRs, their evolutionary origins, methodological approaches, and model systems for their investigation, as well as emerging approaches for their therapeutic targeting. Significance Statement Adhesion G protein–coupled receptors are versatile cell-surface proteins that integrate structural, biochemical, and physiological functions, with major roles in health and disease. This review summarizes current knowledge of their molecular features, functions in diverse model systems, and emerging opportunities for therapeutic targeting, providing a comprehensive resource that connects basic biology with translational applications across multiple scientific disciplines.
