LPAR3
Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 3 also known as LPA3 is a protein in humans that is encoded by the LPAR3 gene.[5][6] LPA3 is a G protein-coupled receptor that binds the lipid signaling molecule lysophosphatidic acid (LPA).[7]

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.[5]
