2-Carba-lysophosphatidic acid is a novel β-lysophosphatidic acid analogue with high potential for lysophosphatidic acid receptor activation and autotaxin inhibition [PDF]
Cyclic phosphatidic acid (cPA) is a naturally occurring phospholipid mediator that, along with its chemically stabilized analogue 2-carba-cyclic phosphatidic acid (2ccPA), induces various biological activities in vitro and in vivo.

Recent advances on the role of G-protein-coupled receptors in kidney diseases
The G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are widely expressed in many cell types and participate in various cellular biological processes. Several studies have shown that GPCRs-mediated signaling pathways play significant roles in maintaining renal ...

Phosphorylation and Internalization of Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptors LPA1, LPA2, and LPA3. [PDF]
The lysophosphatidic acid receptors LPA1, LPA2, and LPA3 were individually expressed in C9 cells and their signaling and regulation were studied. Agonist-activation increases intracellular calcium concentration in a concentration-dependent fashion ...

Lysophosphatidic Acid Signaling in Cancer Cells: What Makes LPA So Special?
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) refers to a family of simple phospholipids that act as ligands for G protein-coupled receptors. While LPA exerts effects throughout the body in normal physiological circumstances, its pathological role in cancer is of great ...

Lysophosphatidic acid mediates myeloid differentiation within the human bone marrow microenvironment. [PDF]
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a pleiotropic phospholipid present in the blood and certain tissues at high concentrations; its diverse effects are mediated through differential, tissue specific expression of LPA receptors.

Linking medicinal cannabis to autotaxin–lysophosphatidic acid signaling
The authors show that Δ9-trans-tetrahydrocannabinol, the main psychoactive compound in medicinal cannabis, could be considered as a therapeutic agent by inhibiting autotaxin–lysophosphatidic acid production. Autotaxin is primarily known for the formation
