Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: EDG5; H218; LPB2; S1P2; AGR16; EDG-5; DFNB68; Gpcr13

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the G protein-coupled receptors, as well as the EDG family of proteins. The encoded protein is a receptor for sphingosine 1-phosphate, which participates in cell proliferation, survival, and transcriptional activation. Defects in this gene have been associated with congenital profound deafness. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]
