ADGRL2

Orphan adhesion G protein-coupled receptor (aGPCR), which mediates synapse specificity (By similarity). Ligand binding causes a conformation change that triggers signaling via guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) and modulates the activity of downstream effectors (By similarity). Following G protein-coupled receptor activation, associates with cell adhesion molecules that are expressed at the surface of adjacent cells to direct synapse specificity. Specifically mediates the establishment of perforant-path synapses on CA1-region pyramidal neurons in the hippocampus. Localizes to postsynaptic spines in excitatory synapses in the S.lacunosum-moleculare and interacts with presynaptic cell adhesion molecules, such as teneurins, promoting synapse formation (By similarity)..
