Function | Receptor for the lysosphingolipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) (PubMed:10617617, PubMed:25274307). S1P is a bioactive lysophospholipid that elicits diverse physiological effects on most types of cells and tissues (PubMed:10617617). When expressed in rat HTC4 hepatoma cells, is capable of mediating S1P-induced cell proliferation and suppression of apoptosis (PubMed:10617617). Receptor for the chemokine-like protein FAM19A5 (PubMed:29453251). Mediates the inhibitory effect of FAM19A5 on vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration (By similarity). In lymphoid follicles, couples the binding of S1P to the activation of GNA13 and downstream inhibition of AKT activation leading to suppression of germinal center (GC) B cell growth and migration outside the GC niche. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |

Background
The Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1PR2) protein was initially identified as G-protein coupled receptor thought to be involved in development (1) and was found to mediate sphingosine 1-phosphate (SPP)-induced cell rounding and neurite retraction (2). S1PR2 and the related protein S1PR3 (also known as EDG3) are also thought to mediate the SPP-induced cell proliferation, survival, and related signaling events (3). S1PR2 has also been found to be key regulator in acute vascular inflammation and may be a novel therapeutic target for vascular disorders (4).
