Gene ID: 2846, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: LPA4; P2Y9; GPR23; P2RY9; P2Y5-LIKE

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the lysophosphatidic acid receptor family. It may also be related to the P2Y receptors, a family of receptors that bind purine and pyrimidine nucleotides and are coupled to G proteins. The encoded protein may play a role in monocytic differentiation. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]
