Full name: adhesion G protein-coupled receptor L2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: CIRL2; CL2; LEC1; LPHH1; LPHN2

Summary: This gene encodes a member of the latrophilin subfamily of G-protein coupled receptors. The encoded protein participates in the regulation of exocytosis. The proprotein is thought to be further cleaved within a cysteine-rich G-protein-coupled receptor proteolysis site into two chains that are non-covalently bound at the cell membrane. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
