Comments
Comment typeDescription
FunctionReceptor for the lysosphingolipid sphingosine 1- phosphate (S1P). S1P is a bioactive lysophospholipid that elicits diverse physiological effect on most types of cells and tissues.
SimilarityBelongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00521}.
Subcellular LocationCell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue SpecificityMost abundant in heart and lung; low, but clearly observed in kidney, liver and thymus; much lower but detectable in brain, testis, stomach and intestine. Not significantly detected in any of the sections of embryonic day (E) 14-18, except in embryonic brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9931453}.
