Agonist Comments
Neurexins 1β, 2β and 1α have been reported to bind ADGRL1 but have not been shown to stimulate it or cause any effect, except limited increase in adhesion between ADGRL1-transfected and NRXN-transfected HEK293 cells [5].

O'Sullivan et al. suggest in their 2012 publication that ADGRL1 might interact with FLRT3; however, the paper mainly deals with ADGRL3 and shows only indirect data on ADGRL1/FLRT3 interaction and does not report any physiological effect of any such interaction [19].

General Comments
ADGRL1 (adhesion G protein-coupled receptor L1, formerly LPHN1 or latrophilin 1) is a receptor that belongs to Family I Adhesion-GPCRs along with ADGRL2 (latrophilin 2), ADGRL3 (latrophilin 3) and ADGRL4 (ELTD1) [3]. Family I Adhesion-GPCRs have orthologs in vertebrate and invertebrate species. There are clear problems with the distribution of ADGRL1 as determined by different techniques. Multiple Northern and Western blotting experiments [9,15,17,25-26] demonstrate that ADGRL1 mRNA and protein are distributed very similarly in rat and human tissues: ADGRL1 is almost exclusively expressed in the brain, is barely detectable in kidneys, lung and pancreas, and is undetectable in the liver. However, the two qPCR datasets [8,23] contradict both these data and each other. According to [8] ADGRL1 is ubiquitous in the rat and is highly abundant in rat liver, which is inconsistent with the blotting data. On the other hand, the same dataset reports that ADGRL1 is brain-specific in the mouse and is undetectable in mouse liver. While consistent with blotting, this clearly contradicts the second qPCR dataset [23], which shows that ADGRL1 is ubiquitous in the mouse and is highly expressed in mouse liver. One possible reason for this conflict could be a varying degree of contamination of tissue samples with autonomic neurons and endocrine cells, which both highly express ADGRL1. Like most other Adhesion-GPCRs, ADGRL1 is cleaved post-translationally into two subunits: α (also called N-terminal fragment, NTF) and β (also called C-terminal fragment, CTF) [11,30]. These subunits can behave as separate proteins on the cell surface; their re-association is driven by exogenous agonist binding and leads to intracellular calcium signalling [24,30]. This feature is not completely understood but is crucial for the functions of ADGRL1 and many other Adhesion GPCRs. There are multiple splice variants of ADGRL1 in all organisms, and the rat variant currently listed on the IUPHAR website (1515 amino acids) is less similar to the human ADGRL1 and less common than the two most abundant splice variants of rat ADGRL1 (1469 aa, accession AAC98700, [15]; and 1471 aa, accession NP_075251, [12]). One phenotype was in fact reported in the original paper on LPHN1-KO [27]: 'abnormal maternal nurturing' (Phenotype ID MP 0001386). Other phenotypes, like 'abnormal and decreased synaptic glutamate release' (MP 0004494 and MP 0004495) were seen only in response to toxin (α-latrotoxin) application and were not observed under physiological conditions.

The Gal_lectin domain is now termed rhamnose-binding lectin (RBL) domain.
