Lysophosphatidic acid (325465-93-8) is a multifunctional intercellular bioactive phospholipid.1Stimulates the growth of a variety of cells including fibroblasts, vascular smooth muscle cells, endothelial cells and keratinocytes among others.1Acts as a proliferative and anti-apoptotic factor.2Lysophophatidic acid is an agonist at LPA1(EDG-2), LPA2(EDG-4) and LPA3(EDG-7) receptors.3LPA-primed astrocytes induce axonal outgrowth of cortical progenitors.4
