The structural similarity of lysosphingolipids to lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) prompted a sequence-based search for lysosphingolipid receptors using cDNA sequence of the Edg2 human LPA receptor. Two closely related G protein-coupled receptors, rat H218 and human Edg3, are highly similar to Edg2. When overexpressed in Jurkat cells, H218 and Edg3 activated serum response element-driven transcriptional reporter gene in response to sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), dihydro-S1P and sphingosylphosphorylcholine, but not to LPA. H218 and Edg3 expressed in Xenopus oocytes conferred responsiveness to S1P and dihydro-S1P in agonist-triggered 45Ca2+ efflux. Therefore, H218 and Edg3 are functional receptors for S1P and perhaps other closely related lysosphingolipids.

D011956 Receptors, Cell Surface Cell surface proteins that bind signalling molecules external to the cell with high affinity and convert this extracellular event into one or more intracellular signals that alter the behavior of the target cell (From Alberts, Molecular Biology of the Cell, 2nd ed, pp693-5). Cell surface receptors, unlike enzymes, do not chemically alter their ligands.
