Recombinant Human Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 4 (S1PR4), Truncated

Uniprot Id

O95977

Target Species

Human

Target Name

S1PR4

Target Full Name

Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 4

Target Function

Receptor for the lysosphingolipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P). S1P is a bioactive lysophospholipid that elicits diverse physiological effect on most types of cells and tissues. May be involved in cell migration processes that are specific for lymphocytes.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

G-protein coupled receptor 1 family

Target Tissue Specificity

Specifically expressed in fetal and adult lymphoid and hematopoietic tissue as well as in lung. Considerable level of expression in adult and fetal spleen as well as adult peripheral leukocytes and lung. Lower expression in adult thymus, lymph node, bone

Target Synonyms

S1PR4; EDG6; Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 4; S1P receptor 4; S1P4; Endothelial differentiation G-protein coupled receptor 6; Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor Edg-6; S1P receptor Edg-6

Target Background

This gene is a member of the endothelial differentiation, G-protein-coupled (EDG)) receptor gene family. EDG receptors bind lysophospholipids or lysosphingolipids as ligands, and are involved in cell signalling in many different cell types. This EDG receptor gene is intronless and is specifically expressed in the lymphoid tissue.
