LPAR5 lysophosphatidic acid receptor 5 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 57121)

Symbol: LPAR5

Full name: lysophosphatidic acid receptor 5

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: GPR92; GPR93; KPG_010; LPA5

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]

Expression: Broad expression in colon (RPKM 5.6), lymph node (RPKM 4.4) and 23 other tissues

Orthologs: mouse

Gene size: 17125bp

Exon count: 3
