I wonder if there are some GPCRs that have extracellular C-terminus and intracellular N-terminus. I know that adiponectin receptors and insect olfactory receptors are upside down, but I can't find any other examples.
The adiponectin receptors belong to a distinct family of ‘upside down’ 7TM’ receptors called the PAQR family. They haven’t been shown to signal through G proteins. The membrane progestin receptor is also a member.
You can not compare adiponectin receptors wit any GPCR coz there are some criteria for it like GPCR have specific conserved disulphide bond, the length of the loop part varies according to sub family like D2, HT2A.......
The PAQR family is a very ancient family, just like the GPCRs, but its numbers in human (11) is much smaller in GPCR numbers in human (300+).
Are there other family of membrane-bound proteins in human, with 7 transmembrane motifs, has this reverse topology? I don't think so. If there is, we would already have found them as all human genes are known now. You can easily validate my claim here by running a TM model against all human protein sequences, and identify those with 4+ TM domains (so you don't miss any due to TM model's inaccuracy). If you find any other members, that are not GPCR, and not PAQR, I think you get a paper. If that new family has the reverse-orientation to GPCR, then it is another PAQR-like family. Good luck with your hunting.
