    intracellular,cytoplasm
    text located in the intracellular compartments and is capable of activating Gs-mediated signaling from these compartments (Padmanabhan 2009)
    basic FUNCTION
  • acting as a receptor for the lysosphingolipid sphingosine 1- phosphate (S1P)
  • up-regulates cAMP production in neurons, stimulates neurite outgrowth, and counteracts myelin inhibition (Tanaka 2007)
  • activating a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system
  • can signal from intracellular compartments (Padmanabhan 2009)
  • may play a role in locomotor and/or reward related behaviors (Padmanabhan 2009)
