Unexpected and unprecedented findings suggest that Adhesion GPCRs constitute a group of receptors that sense mechanical stimuli and transcode them into metabotropic signals through the action of a novel activation paradigm. Interdisciplinary efforts transcending many areas of biomedical research including pharmacology, physiology, genetics, cell biology, structural biology, biochemistry and bioinformatics were necessary to unveil these fundamental properties. The scientific leaders in the field that carried this research effort have teamed up here to provide a comprehensive overview of our current understanding, how Adhesion GPCRs signal and how these receptors shape organ structure and function.Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology,0171-2004 ;234PharmacologyHuman physiologyHuman geneticsCytologyClinical biochemistryPharmacology/Toxicologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B21007Human Physiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B13004Human Geneticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B12008Cell Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16008Medical Biochemistryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H35005Pharmacology.Human physiology.Human genetics.Cytology.Clinical biochemistry.Pharmacology/Toxicology.Human Physiology.Human Genetics.Cell Biology.Medical Biochemistry.613Langenhan Tobiasedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSchöneberg Torstenedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910150457103321Adhesion G Protein-coupled Receptors2527543UNINA
