S1PR2
Protein and coding gene in humans
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2, also known as S1PR2 or S1P2, is a human gene which encodes a G protein-coupled receptor which binds the lipid signaling molecule sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P).[5]

Function
This protein participates in sphingosine 1-phosphate-induced cell proliferation, survival, and transcriptional activation.[5] It has also been shown to interact with Nogo-A (RTN4), an neurite outgrowth inhibitor.[6] S1PR2 is expressed in neuronal and vascular cells and is crucial for the migration and growth of developing and injured neuronal and vascular system.[7][8]
