LPA5 is abundantly expressed by human mast cells and important for lysophosphatidic acid induced MIP-1β release. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
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

Role of lysophosphatidic acid and its receptors in health and disease: novel therapeutic strategies

open access: yesSignal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, 2021
Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is an abundant bioactive phospholipid, with multiple functions both in development and in pathological conditions. Here, we review the literature about the differential signaling of LPA through its specific receptors, which ...

Ginseng Gintonin Contains Ligands for GPR40 and GPR55

open access: yesMolecules, 2020
Gintonin, a novel ginseng-derived glycolipoprotein complex, has an exogenous ligand for lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptors. However, recent lipid analysis of gintonin has shown that gintonin also contains other bioactive lipids besides LPAs, including

Lateral access mechanism of LPA receptor probed by molecular dynamics simulation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) are a family of membrane receptors that play important roles in the regulation of various physiological phenomena. LPA receptors (LPA1-6) are members of the class A GPCRs, which transduce a lysophosphatidic acid (LPA ...

Controlling cancer through the autotaxin–lysophosphatidic acid receptor axis [PDF]

open access: yesBiochemical Society Transactions, 2012
LPA (lysophosphatidic acid, 1-acyl-2-hydroxy-sn-glycero-3-phosphate), is a growth factor-like lipid mediator that regulates many cellular functions, many of which are unique to malignantly transformed cells. The simple chemical structure of LPA and its profound effects in cancer cells has attracted the attention of the cancer therapeutics field and ...

Inhibitors of lipid phosphatidate receptors: N-palmitoyl-serine and N-palmitoyl-tyrosine phosphoric acids

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1996
An improved synthesis of two lipid phosphoric acids, N-palmitoyl-L-serine phosphoric acid (NP-Ser-PA) and N-palmitoyl-L-tyrosine phosphoric acid (NP-Tyr-PA), from the benzyl esters of L-serine and L-tyrosine is described.
