Comments
Comment typeDescription
FunctionReceptor for the lysosphingolipid sphingosine 1- phosphate (S1P). S1P is a bioactive lysophospholipid that elicits diverse physiological effect on most types of cells and tissues. When expressed in rat HTC4 hepatoma cells, is capable of mediating S1P-induced cell proliferation and suppression of apoptosis.
SimilarityBelongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
Subcellular LocationCell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in all tissues, but most abundantly in heart, placenta, kidney, and liver.
