Cadherin EGF LAG seven-pass G-type receptor 1 (CELSR1) is a member of the flamingo subfamily, part of the cadherin superfamily. The cadherin domains are found in cell-adhesion molecules, reflecting the protein's role in establishing and maintaining specific cell-cell connections. These connections are vital for the proper tissue and organ formation during embryonic development and for maintaining tissue integrity throughout life.CELSR1 is characterized by an extensive extracellular region composed of multiple cadherin repeats, EGF-like domains, and Laminin G-like domains, followed by a seven-pass transmembrane region, and ending with a cytoplasmic tail. This structure suggests that CELSR1 functions as an adhesion G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), which is a unique combination of cell adhesion and signaling functions.
The protein plays a critical role in the planar cell polarity (PCP) pathway, which is responsible for coordinating the uniform orientation of cells within the plane of a tissue, such as the directional alignment of hair cells in the inner ear or the synchronized arrangement of follicular cells in the skin. CELSR1's function in PCP signaling is essential for various developmental processes, including neural tube closure and the formation of the body's three-dimensional structure.Mutations in the gene encoding CELSR1 have been associated with developmental disorders, particularly neural tube defects such as spina bifida, due to its role in coordinating cell orientation and movement. Additionally, CELSR1 has been implicated in the regulation of neuronal migration and connectivity in the developing brain, and alterations in its function can lead to neurological implications.
