LPA1, also known as Lysophosphatidic Acid Receptor 1, is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that binds to lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a bioactive lipid mediator. LPA1 is part of the endothelial differentiation gene (EDG) family of receptors and plays a significant role in various cellular processes, including proliferation, survival, migration, and differentiation. These processes are crucial in both normal physiological and pathological contexts, such as cancer.
