Lysophosphatidic acid receptors.

چکیده
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a simple bioactive phospholipid with diverse physiological actions on many cell types. LPA induces proliferative and/or morphological effects and has been proposed to be involved in biologically important processes including neurogenesis, myelination, angiogenesis, wound healing, and cancer progression. LPA acts through specific G protein-coupled, seven-transmembrane domain receptors. To date, three mammalian cognate receptor genes, lp(A1)/vzg-1/Edg2, lp(A2)/Edg4, and lp(A3)/Edg7, have been identified that encode high-affinity LPA receptors. Here, we review current knowledge on these LPA receptors, including their isolation, function, expression pattern, gene structure, chromosomal location, and possible physiological or pathological roles.

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive lipid that is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes occurring in the gastrointestinal tract. It acts via six distinct types of receptors, LPA1, LPA2, LPA3, LPA4, LPA5 and LPA6, which belong to the family of G protein-coupled receptors. The aim of the present study was to detect the expression of the LPA receptors in the huma...
متن کاملLysophosphatidic acid modulates alpha(1b)-adrenoceptor phosphorylation and function: roles of Gi and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.
The effect of lysophosphatidic acid on the phosphorylation and function of alpha(1b)-adrenoceptors transfected into rat-1 fibroblasts was studied. This phospholipid mitogen increased in a concentration-dependent fashion (EC(50) approximately 50 nM) the phosphorylation of these adrenoceptors. Lysophosphatidic acid-induced alpha(1b)-adrenoceptor phosphorylation was relatively rapid (t(1/2) approx...
