| Gene Symbol | LPAR2 |
| Entrez Gene ID | 9170 |
| Full Name | lysophosphatidic acid receptor 2 |
| Synonyms | EDG-4,EDG4,LPA-2,LPA2 |
| General protein information |
|
| Gene Type | protein-coding |
| Organism | Homo sapiens(human) |
| Genome | |
| Summary | This gene encodes a member of family I of the G protein-coupled receptors, as well as the EDG family of proteins. This protein functions as a lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptor and contributes to Ca2+ mobilization, a critical cellular response to LPA in cells, through association with Gi and Gq proteins. An alternative splice variant has been described but its full length sequence has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. |
