A single amino acid determines preference between phospholipids and reveals length restriction for activation ofthe S1P4 receptor [PDF]
Background<br/><br/> Sphingosine-1-phosphate and lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) are ligands for two related families of G protein-coupled receptors, the S1P and LPA receptors, respectively.

Lysophosphatidic acid receptor agonists and antagonists (WO2010051053) [PDF]
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive lipid involved in signaling pathways that result in cell survival, proliferation, migration and invasion. These cellular responses are a critical element of both normal development as well as pathophysiology.

Control of Intestinal Epithelial Permeability by Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptor 5 [PDF]
Epithelial cells form a monolayer at mucosal surface that functions as a highly selective barrier. Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive lipid that elicits a broad range of biological effects via cognate G protein-coupled receptors. LPA receptor 5 (LPA5) is highly expressed in intestinal epithelial cells, but its role in the intestine is not well ...

Inhibition of Subsets of G Protein-coupled Receptors by Empty Mutants of G Protein α Subunits in Go, G11, and G16 [PDF]
We previously reported that the xanthine nucleotide binding Goα mutant, GoαX, inhibited the activation of Gi-coupled receptors. We constructed similar mutations in G11α and G16α and characterized their nucleotide binding and receptor interaction.

TRIP6 Enhances Lysophosphatidic Acid-induced Cell Migration by Interacting with the Lysophosphatidic Acid 2 Receptor [PDF]
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) induces actin rearrangement, focal adhesion assembly, and cell migration through the activation of small G protein Rho and its downstream effectors. These diverse cellular responses are mediated by its associated G protein-coupled receptors.

Neurobiology of the Edg2 Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptor
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA, 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate) is a well-known lipid growth factor that is found widely in various tissues including brain and is reported to drive different intracellular signaling pathways. In the nervous system, LPA studies have drawn many neuroscientists' attention because it has some actions related to neurogenesis ...

Lysophospholipid receptors in vertebrate development, physiology, and pathology
Lysophospholipid (LP) research has experienced a period of renaissance with the discovery of the lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) and sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) receptors in the late 1990s.

LPA5 is abundantly expressed by human mast cells and important for lysophosphatidic acid induced MIP-1β release. [PDF]
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive lipid inducing proliferation, differentiation as well as cytokine release by mast cells through G-protein coupled receptors. Recently GPR92/LPA5 was identified as an LPA receptor highly expressed by cells of the

Lysophosphatidic Acid Inhibits Adipocyte Differentiation via Lysophosphatidic Acid 1 Receptor-dependent Down-regulation of Peroxisome Proliferator-activated Receptor γ2 [PDF]
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive phospholipid acting via specific G protein-coupled receptors that is synthesized at the extracellular face of adipocytes by a secreted lysophospholipase D (autotaxin). Preadipocytes mainly express the LPA(1) receptor subtype, and LPA increases their proliferation.
