LPAR2

Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 2 also known as LPA2 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the LPAR2 is_associated_with::gene. LPA2 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 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.

Interactions
LPAR2 has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::TRIP6.
