Summary: (from NCBI-Entrez) ..[read more]This gene is a member of the endothelial differentiation, G-protein-coupled (EDG)) receptor gene family. EDG receptors bind lysophospholipids or lysosphingolipids as ligands, and are involved in cell signalling in many different cell types. This EDG recep
Edg-6 as a putative sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor coupling to Ca(2+) signaling pathway. Biochem Biophys Res Commun. 2000 In Edg-6-transfected CHO cells, an increase in cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration in response to S1P or SPC was clearly enhanced without change in the LPA-induced action as compared with the vector-transfected cells.
