Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1P receptor 2) (S1P2) (Endothelial differentiation G-protein coupled receptor 5) (Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor Edg-5) (S1P receptor Edg-5), S1PR2, EDG5
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. When expressed in rat HTC4 hepatoma cells, is capable of mediating S1P-induced cell proliferation and suppression of apoptosis.
