LPHN3

Latrophilin-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ADGRL3 gene.

Function

This gene encodes a member of the latrophilin subfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR). Latrophilins may function in both cell adhesion and signal transduction. In experiments with non-human species, endogenous proteolytic cleavage within a cysteine-rich GPS (G-protein-coupled-receptor proteolysis site) domain resulted in two subunits (a large extracellular N-terminal cell adhesion subunit and a subunit with substantial similarity to the secretin/calcitonin family of GPCRs) being non-covalently bound at the cell membrane.

Clinical significance

A version of this gene has been linked to Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

    Lovin' You

    by: Dolly Parton

    If you've been wonderin' what I'm gonna do
    While you are sleepin', am I sleepin', too
    Well I just sittin' here lovin' you
    Close my eyes an' lovin' you
    I'm just sittin' back, sittin' here lovin' you
    An' I have been wonderin' just what I would do
    If I weren't sleepin', had I not found you
    Well I'd be outside findin' you
    I'd be walkin' on the avenue findin' you
    Well, I'm just sittin' back, sittin' here lovin' you
    Now the reason that you never see me runnin' 'round
    Fingers on my forehead couldn't calm me down
    An' he can't even get me up and on my feet
    When I've got to take care of some business on the street
    I have been walkin' all my streets alone
    But I won't keep walkin' to keep from goin' home
    Couldn't quite barely concieve of you
    Aw, an' I'm just sittin' back, sittin' here lovin' you
    If you've been wonderin' what I'm gonna do
    While you are sleepin', am I sleepin', too
    Well I just sittin' here lovin' you
    I just close my eyes an' lovin' you
