Genetics and cell biology of lysophosphatidic acid receptor-mediated signaling during cortical neurogenesis.

Abstract excerpt

Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a small lysophospholipid that signals through G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) to mediate diverse cellular responses. Two LPA receptors, LPA(1) and LPA(2), show gene expression profiles in mouse embryonic cerebral cortex, suggesting roles for LPA signaling in cerebral cortical development. Here, we review loss-of-function and gain-of-function models that have been used to examine...
