Objective— Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), a major phospholipid component of oxidized low density lipoprotein, has been demonstrated to induce multiple functional alterations of vasculature that are potentially involved in atherosclerosis. Recently, an orphan G-protein-coupled receptor, G2A, has been identified as a high-affinity receptor for LPC. Although it has been demonstrated that G2A is expressed predominantly in lymphoid tissues and lymphocytes, there are no reports to determine whether… Expand
