LPA (lysophosphatidic acid) mediates cellular differentiation, growth, survival and motility through two subgroups of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs): The Edg (endothelial differentiation gene) family – LPA1, LPA2, LPA3 and the non-Edg family – LPA4, LPA5, LPA6.nLike all GPCRs, LPA receptors have seven transmembrane domains, an extracellular N-terminus and an intracellular C-terminal tail.nAlkyl-LPA, commonly found in platelets activates LPA5, thus explaining the high expression of the receptor in platelets. LPA is expressed in astrocytes, and sensory and motor neurons in the spinal cord. It is also detected in spleen, heart, placenta, lliver and colon.nLPA5 activation leads to cAMP production; however, it does so in a Gs independent manner4,5. The receptor couples Gq, thus leading to Ca2+ mobilization.nActivation of LPA5 was also shown to initiate neuropathic pain in mouse models. LPA5 knockout mice do not develop neuropathic pain
