lysophosphatidic acid receptor 5(LPAR5) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the rhodopsin class of G protein-coupled transmembrane receptors. This protein transmits extracellular signals from lysophosphatidic acid to cells through heterotrimeric G proteins and mediates numerous cellular processes. Many G protein receptors serve as targets for pharmaceutical drugs. Transcript variants of this gene have been described.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008],function:Receptor for lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a mediator of diverse cellular activities.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,tissue specificity:Not expressed in frontal cortex, basal forebrain, caudate putamen, thalamus, or hippocampus.,
