Lysophosphatidic acid signalling
Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1995Lysophosphatidic acid is an intercellular phospholipid messenger that is released from platelets (and probably other cells) and evokes multiple biological responses, ranging from induction of mitogenesis to neurite retraction, by activating a specific G protein coupled receptor.

Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptors
Molecular Pharmacology, 2000Lysophosphatidic 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.

Lysophosphatidic Acid Induces Erythropoiesis through Activating Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptor 3
Stem Cells, 2011 AbstractLysophosphatidic acid (LPA), an extracellular lipid mediator, exerts multiple bioactivities through activating G protein-coupled receptors. LPA receptor 3 (LPA3) is a member of the endothelial differentiation gene family, which regulates differentiation and development of the circulation system. However, the relationship among the LPA receptors

Lysophosphatidic acid: mitogen and motility factor
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2003LPA (lysophosphatidic acid), the simplest of al glycerophospholipids, is a potent inducer of cell proliferation, migration and survival. It does so by activating its cognate G-protein-coupled receptors, four of which have been identified. LPA receptors couple to at least three distinct G-proteins and thereby activate multiple signal transduction ...

Lysophosphatidic Acid and Invasion
2009Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a small, bioactive phospholipid produced by activated platelets, mesothelial cells, macrophage, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, adipocytes, and some cancer cells. It is involved in multiple cellular events of almost every mammalian cell type.

Mechanisms of lysophosphatidic acid production
Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 2004Lysophosphatidic acid is one of the most attractive phospholipid mediator with multiple biological functions and is implicated in various human diseases. In the past ten years much has been learned about the physiological roles of LPA through series of studies on LPA actions and its receptors.

Effects of lysophosphatidic acid on melanogenesis
Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 2004In this study, we investigated the effects of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) on melanogenesis in Mel-Ab cells. We found that LPA significantly attenuates melanin synthesis, and reduces the activity of tyrosinase, the rate-limiting melanogenic enzyme. Interestingly, LPA was also found to induce the activation of a 90 kDa ribosomal S6 kinase (RSK-1), which ...

Lysophosphatidic acid in neural signaling
NeuroReport, 2002The physiological and pathological importance of lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in the nervous system is underscored by its presence, as well as the expression of its receptors in neural tissues. In fact, LPA produces responses in a broad range of cell types related to the function of the nervous system.
