Agonist Comments | ||
It was initially believed that psychosine and other lysolipids acted at human GPR65 to inhibit of forskolin-stimulated cAMP formation in a concentration- dependent manner [6]. However, GPR4, GPR 65, GPR68 and GPR132 are now thought to function as proton-sensing receptors detecting acidic pH [2,22]; lysolipids may actually be antagonists at GPR65 [22,24]. BTB09089 has been reported to be an agonist of GPR65 [17]. |
Antagonist Comments | ||
Psychosine related lysoslipids behave as antagonists against proton-sensing GPR65 [24]. |
Immunopharmacology Comments |
Tha expression profile of GPR65 suggests an immunological role. In addition, disruption of GPR65 expression leads to reduced eosinophilia in models of allergic airway disease [9]. |

Comments: GPR65 response to psychosine was not blocked by pre-treatment of RH7777 cells with pertussis toxin, suggesting the involvement of PTX-insensitive G proteins, perhaps Gαs. Proton stimulation of the receptor causes cAMP accumulation [7,19]. This proton-receptor interaction may be mediated by Gs proteins [24]. GPR65 mediates, at least partly, inhibition of proinflammatory cytokine production induced by the extracellular acidification through Gs protein/cAMP/PKA. | |

Tissue Distribution Comments | ||||||||
GPR65 is overexpressed by more than 5x in a range of human cancer tissues (kidney, ovarian, colon, breast) screened using quantitative fluorescence-based real-time PCR [23]. Enhanced green fluorescent protein reporter has been knocked into the disrupted GPR65 locus to allow the analysis of TDAG8 expression in living cells [18]. GPR65 is expressed in nociceptors of the lumbar dorsal root ganglion in mice (RT-PCR) [5]. Receptor expression is increased in eosinophils in murine models of allergic asthma and human populations during acute asthma exacerbations [9]. |

Gene Expression and Pathophysiology Comments | |
Chromosomal location and tissue distribution implicates GPR65 in T-cell-associated diseases [10]. Association with the ligand psychosine indicates a role for the receptor in globoid cell leukodystrophy [6]. Receptor overexpression in a range of human cancer tissues suggest contribution to tumor development [23]. Genome-wide association and fine mapping of genetic loci indicates Gpr65 in predisposition to colon carcinogenesis in mice [11]. |
