Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a serum-borne phospholipid that activates a specific G protein coupled receptor to evoke multiple cellular responses. Recent work has identified two cDNAs encoding putative LPA receptors, various LPA-like agonists that act on distinct receptors, and new pathways that link the receptor(s) to such diverse events as Ras signalling, cytoskeletal remodelling and membrane depolarization.
溶血磷脂酸(LPA)是一种存在于血清中的磷脂,它能激活特定的G蛋白偶联受体,引发多种细胞反应。最近的研究工作已经鉴定出两个编码假定LPA受体的cDNA、作用于不同受体的各种LPA样激动剂,以及将这些受体与诸如Ras信号传导、细胞骨架重塑和膜去极化等不同事件联系起来的新途径。
