GPCRs proposed to be mechanosensitive.

GPCROther namesTested mechanical stimuli
AT1R Angiotensin II receptor 1 Shear stress; cell stretch; hypoosmotic saline 
B2R Bradykinin receptor 2 Shear stress; hypoosmotic saline 
H1R Histamine receptor 1 Cell indentation; hypoosmotic saline 
GPR68 OGR1 [ovarian cancer G-protein coupled receptor 1] Shear stress; cell stretch 
Rh5, Rh6, NINA-E Insect rhodopsins Required for mechanosensory function 
ADGRG5 GPR114 Centrifugation of cell suspension 
ADGRG6 GPR126 Centrifugation of cell suspension; vibration of adherent cells; AFM pushing/pulling 
ADGRG1 GPR56 AFM pushing/pulling 
ADGRD1 GPR133 Centrifugation of cell suspension 
ADGRL1 Latrophilin-1, CIRL-1, CL1, dCIRL Inferred based on role in cell–cell adhesion; required for mechanosensory function in fruit flies and nematodes
