Summary	Receptor for lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) (PubMed:11087877, PubMed:18066075). Plays a role in the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, cell migration, differentiation and proliferation, and thereby contributes to the responses to tissue damage and infectious agents. Activates downstream signaling cascades via the G(i)/G(o), G(12)/G(13), and G(q) families of heteromeric G proteins (PubMed:8922387, PubMed:9600933, PubMed:11040035, PubMed:18157949, PubMed:18066075, PubMed:23478264). Signaling inhibits adenylyl cyclase activity and decreases cellular cAMP levels (PubMed:11040035, PubMed:12215548). Signaling triggers an increase of cytoplasmic Ca(2+) levels (PubMed:12215548). Activates RALA; this leads to the activation of phospholipase C (PLC) and the formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (PubMed:11040035, PubMed:12215548, PubMed:23478264). Signaling mediates activation of down-stream MAP kinases (PubMed:11040035). Contributes to the regulation of cell shape (PubMed:8922387, PubMed:9600933, PubMed:11040035, PubMed:11087877). Promotes Rho-dependent reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton in neuronal cells and neurite retraction (PubMed:9600933, PubMed:11040035, PubMed:12181339). Promotes the activation of Rho and the formation of actin stress fibers (PubMed:9600933, PubMed:12215548). Promotes formation of lamellipodia at the leading edge of migrating cells via activation of RAC1 (PubMed:23478264). Through its function as lysophosphatidic acid receptor, plays a role in chemotaxis and cell migration, including responses to injury and wounding (PubMed:11087877, PubMed:18066075, PubMed:23478264). Plays a role in triggering inflammation in response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) via its interaction with CD14 (PubMed:21821728). Promotes cell proliferation in response to lysophosphatidic acid (PubMed:9600933, PubMed:11087877, PubMed:12215548, PubMed:18157949, PubMed:17692995, PubMed:23478264). Required for normal skeleton development (PubMed:21569876). May play a role in osteoblast differentiation (PubMed:21569876). Required for normal brain development (PubMed:17656621, PubMed:18708146). Required for normal proliferation, survival and maturation of newly formed neurons in the adult dentate gyrus (PubMed:18708146). Plays a role in pain perception and in the initiation of neuropathic pain (PubMed:15195086, PubMed:19689455).[UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot Function]
shRNA Design	These shRNA constructs were designed against multiple splice variants at this gene locus. To be certain that your variant of interest is targeted, please contact techsupport@origene.com. If you need a special design or shRNA sequence, please utilize our custom shRNA service.
Performance Guaranteed	OriGene guarantees that the sequences in the shRNA expression cassettes are verified to correspond to the target gene with 100% identity. One of the four constructs at minimum are guaranteed to produce 70% or more gene expression knock-down provided a minimum transfection efficiency of 80% is achieved. Western Blot data is recommended over qPCR to evaluate the silencing effect of the shRNA constructs 72 hrs post transfection. To properly assess knockdown, the gene expression level from the included scramble control vector must be used in comparison with the target-specific shRNA transfected samples. For non-conforming shRNA, requests for replacement product must be made within ninety (90) days from the date of delivery of the shRNA kit. To arrange for a free replacement with newly designed constructs, please contact Technical Services at techsupport@origene.com. Please provide your data indicating the transfection efficiency and measurement of gene expression knockdown compared to the scrambled shRNA control (Western Blot data preferred).

*Delivery time may vary from web posted schedule. Occasional delays may occur due to unforeseen complexities in the preparation of your product. International customers may expect an additional 1-2 weeks in shipping.
