“…Among the EDG receptors, EDG1, EDG3, EDG5 (AGR16 or H218), and EDG8 are identified as receptors specific for S1P (8,20,30,34,35,44,46,47,49,65,66,71), while EDG2, EDG4, and EDG7 are receptors specific for LPA (5,15,26,49). EDG1, EDG3, and EDG5 are widely expressed in various tissues (25,53,76), whereas expression of EDG8 is confined to the central nervous system (30). We and others have shown that the S1P receptors exhibit distinct signaling characteristics.…”
