Gene information for LPAR2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9170
Official gene symbolLPAR2
Full namelysophosphatidic acid receptor 2
Aliases,EDG-4,EDG4,FLJ93869,LPA-2,LPA2,
Gene summaryThis 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]
