Anti-GPR126

This gene, which is upregulated in human umbilical vein endothelial cells, encodes a G protein-coupled receptor. Variations in this gene can affect a person's stature. Multiple transcript variants encoding different proteins have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009], Protein function: G-protein coupled receptor which is activated by type IV collagen, a major constituent of the basement membrane. Couples to G(i)-proteins as well as G(s)-proteins (PubMed:24227709). Essential for normal differentiation of promyelinating Schwann cells and for normal myelination of axons (PubMed:24227709). Regulates neural, cardiac and ear development via G-protein- and/or N-terminus- dependent signaling. May act as a receptor for PRNP which may promote myelin homeostasis.
