Abstract excerpt
In human autosomal recessive woolly hair/hypotrichosis (ARWH/HT), many mutations have been identified in a gene encoding LPA6, a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) for lysophosphatidic acid (LPA). However, information regarding the effects of such mutations on receptor function is limited. In this study, we examined functional impacts of selected amino acid changes in LPA6 identified in ARWH/HT patients. In our...
