Phenotype triggers

  • normal activity of Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 5
    in brain
    • S1PR5 is the 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. S1PR5 may play a regulatory role in the transformation of radial glial cells into astrocytes [1]
  • normal activity of Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1
    in astrocyte
    • A study using LPA1-null astrocytes clearly identified the involvement of this receptor in LPA-mediated astrocyte proliferation. [2]
    • Astrocytes primed by LPA increase neuronal differentiation, likely through as yet unidentified soluble factors, and this activity is dependent on activation of LPA1 and in astrocytes. [3]
