Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive lipid molecule that plays a crucial role in various biological processes. It is derived from phosphatidic acid and is involved in cell signaling, influencing cell growth, survival, and migration. LPA interacts with specific receptors on cell surfaces, triggering a range of cellular responses. LPA is found in various tissues and biological fluids, including blood and platelets. It has been studied for its implications in several health conditions, such as cancer, fibrosis, and neurodegenerative diseases. Understanding LPA's functions may lead to new therapeutic strategies for these diseases.
