Potency (pEC50) and efficacy values (E max) for LPA and related phospholipids in the agonist-induced [35S]GTPγS binding assay were carried out in membranes prepared from PTX treated (100 ng/ml for 20 h before harvesting) hEdg2 receptor-rGiα1 fusion protein transiently expressing HEK cells. Efficacy values are the maximal stimulation achieved and are presented as a percentage of the maximal LPA response. Results are arithmetic means ± S.E. of ≥3 experiments.
