Lysophospholipids are lipid molecules that are receiving growing attention because, in addition to their structural function in the cell membrane, they are now regarded as important regulators for diverse
biological functions through activation of specific receptors. These receptors have been characterized
during the last two decades as G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and, among them, two families
stand out: lysophosphatidic acid (LPA1–6) and sphingosine 1-phoshate (S1P1–5) receptors. Des...
