G protein-coupled receptor 126 also known as VIGR and DREG is a protein encoded by the ADGRG6 gene.^[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]

Ligand

GPR126 was shown to bind collagen IV and laminin-211 promoting cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) to mediate myelination.^[13][14]

Signaling

Upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or thrombin stimulation, expression of GPR126 is induced by MAP kinases in endothelial cells.^[12] During angiogenesis, GPR126 promotes protein kinase A (PKA)–cAMP-activated signaling in endothelial cells.^[15] Forced GPR126 expression in COS-7 cells enhances cAMP levels by coupling to heterotrimeric Gα_s/i proteins.^[16]

Function

GPR126 has been identified in genomic regions associated with adult height, more specially trunk height,^[17][18][19] pulmonary function^[20] and adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.^[21] In the vertebrate nervous system, many axons are surrounded by a myelin sheath to conduct action potentials rapidly and efficiently. Applying a genetic screen in zebrafish mutants, Talbot’s group demonstrated that GPR126 affects the development of myelinated axons.^[22] GPR126 drives the differentiation of Schwann cells through inducing cAMP levels, which causes Oct6 transcriptional activities to promote myelin gene activity.^[23] Mutation of gpr126 in zebrafish affects peripheral myelination. Monk’s group demonstrated domain-specific functions of GPR126 during Schwann cells development: the NTF is necessary and sufficient for axon sorting, while the CTF promotes wrapping through cAMP induction to regulate early and late stages of Schwann cells development.^[14]

Outside of neurons, GPR126 function is required for heart and inner ear development.^[24][25][26] GPR126 stimulates VEGF signaling and angiogenesis by modulating VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR2) expression through STAT5 and GATA2 in endothelial cells.^[15]

Disease

Mouse models have shown GPR126 deletion to affect cartilage biology and spinal column development,^[27] supporting findings that variants of GPR126 have been associated with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis,^[21] and Mutations have been shown to be responsible for severe arthrogryposis multiplex congenita ^[28]
