LPAR5 lysophosphatidic acid receptor 5

Gene ID: 57121, updated on 12-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: LPA5; GPR92; GPR93; KPG_010

Summary

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]
