Weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining was observed in most cancer tissues. Several prostate cancers were strongly stained while several gliomas were negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
LPAR2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
EDG-4, EDG4, LPA2
Description
Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of family I of the G protein-coupled receptors, as well as the EDG family of proteins. This protein functions as a lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) receptor and contributes to Ca2+ mobilization, a critical cellular response to LPA in cells, through association with Gi and Gq proteins. An alternative splice variant has been described but its full length sequence has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
