LPAR6 lysophosphatidic acid receptor 6

Gene ID: 10161, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: LAH3; P2Y5; ARWH1; HYPT8; LPA-6; P2RY5

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of G-protein coupled receptors, that are preferentially activated by adenosine and uridine nucleotides. This gene aligns with an internal intron of the retinoblastoma susceptibility gene in the reverse orientation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
