General Comments
CELSR3 (adherin, EGF LAG seven-pass G-type receptor 3) is a receptor that belongs to Family IV Adhesion-GPCRs along with CELSR1 and CELSR2 [8]. The gene is localized on human chromosome 3 and mouse chromosome 9. Family IV Adhesion-GPCRs have orthologs in vertebrate and invertebrate species.

A recent publication reveals an increase in Celsr3 expression in pancreatic tumour stellate cells [4]. Activation of these cells or their trans-differentiation is regulated by paracrine and autocrine loops of growth factors which are associated with pathological conditions such as liver injury, cirrhosis as well as cancer.
