Physiological Consequences of Altering Gene Expression Comments
Adgrf2 knockout mice do not show defects in development or fertility [3].
General Comments
ADGRF2 (formerly GPR111) is an orphan receptor that belongs to Family VI Adhesion-GPCRs together with ADGRF1 and ADGRF3-5 [1]. The genes of Family VI Adhesion-GPCRs except ADGRF3 are syntenically clustered on human chromosome 6 and mouse chromosome 17 suggesting the evolution from an ancestral gene through gene duplication and exon shuffling [3].

Original gene prediction [2] failed to predict several exons at both the 5' and 3' ends and included one exon of ADGRF2 in the prediction of ADGRF4 which is the adjacent gene.

A rat cDNA similar to the mouse cDNA AK142836 can be predicted with an open reading frame of 650 amino acids.
