Biochem/physiol Actions

Lysophosphatidylinositol, an endogenous phospholipid, is a novel ligand for the orphan G protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) . Lysophosphatidylinositol promotes RhoA-dependent Ca2+ signaling and NFAT (nuclear factor of activated T cells) activation in human embryonic kidney 293 cells .

The endogenous phospholipid l-alpha-lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) was recently identified as a novel ligand for the orphan G protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55). In this study we define the downstream signaling pathways activated by LPI in a human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cell

GPR55 is an orphan G protein-coupled receptor. In this study, we explored a possible endogenous ligand for GPR55 using HEK293 cells which expressed GPR55. We found that lysophosphatidylinositol induced rapid phosphorylation of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase in transiently or stably
