LPAR3

Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 3 also known as LPA3 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the LPAR3 is_associated_with::gene. LPA3 is a is_associated_with::G protein-coupled receptor that binds the lipid signaling molecule is_associated_with::lysophosphatidic acid (LPA).

Function
This gene encodes a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family, as well as the EDG family of proteins. This protein functions as a cellular receptor for lysophosphatidic acid and mediates lysophosphatidic acid-evoked calcium mobilization. This receptor couples predominantly to G(q/11) alpha proteins.
