Overview
Receptor for the lysosphingolipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). S1P is a bioactive lysophospholipid that elicits diverse physiological effect on most types of cells and tissues. Is coupled to both the G(i/O)alpha and G(12) subclass of heteromeric G-proteins.
Molecular Function
G-protein coupled receptor, Receptor, Transducer
Subcellular Location
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein
Expression
Found almost exclusively in brain and skin. Ubiquitously detected in different brain regions with very prominent expression in lower brain regions such as the midbrain, pons, medulla, and spinal cord. Expressed predominantly within white matter tracts of
