Description
Product Characteristics:
Receptor for lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a mediator of diverse cellular activities. May play a role in the development of ovarian cancer. Seems to be coupled to the G(i)/G(o) and G(q) families of heteromeric G proteins.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: EDG7, GPCR, LPA3, Edg-7, LP-A3, HOFNH30, RP4-678I3, Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 3, LPA receptor 3, LPA-3, Lysophosphatidic acid receptor Edg-7, LPAR3
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family, as well as the EDG family of proteins. This protein functions as a cellular receptor for lysophosphatidic acid and mediates lysophosphatidic acid-evoked calcium mobilization. This receptor couples predominantly to G(q/11) alpha proteins.
