LPAR2, Official Symbol LPAR2provided by HGNC Official Full Name lysophosphatidic acid receptor 2provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:3168 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000064547 MIM:605110; AllianceGenome:HGNC:3168 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status VALIDATED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as EDG4; LPA2; EDG-4; LPA-2 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.
