Mutagenesis and activity assays in vitro and in vivo identify residues in the tethered agonist of GPR116, as well as those within the extracellular loops, that are critical for mediating the response to the tethered agonist.

Results of a zebrafish whole-animal chemical screen for compounds that can rescue ear and myelination defects in an adhesion GPCR (Adgrg6/Gpr126) mutant.
An interdisciplinary approach uncovers a new antinociceptive molecular mechanism and shows that the adhesion GPCR CIRL adjusts the sensation of gentle touch and noxious mechanical insult in opposite directions.

Structural dynamic insights revealed the mechanisms of PC1 activation by stalk-derived peptide agonists which can form a foundation for development of PC1 as a therapeutic target for ADPKD treatment.

The adhesion-GPCR BAI1 shapes dendritic arbors in the hippocampus by associating with Bcr late in development and stimulating its RhoA-GEF activity, resulting in dendritic growth arrest.
ADGRG2, an orphan GPCR, when coupled to CFTR via a regional Gq signaling on the apical membrane, acts to regulate efferent duct fluid reabsorption making it essential for male fertility.
