Description

S1PR2 encodes a G protein-coupled receptor for sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P), a bioactive lysophospholipid. The receptor is involved in cell migration, proliferation, and cytoskeletal organization. It plays critical roles in immune cell trafficking, vascular development, and auditory function. Dysregulation of S1PR2 signaling is implicated in cancer progression, autoimmune diseases, and hearing loss.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
Hearing loss (autosomal recessive deafness 108) Loss-of-function mutations in S1PR2 disrupt S1P signaling in cochlear hair cells, leading to sensorineural hearing loss. ClinVar; OMIM #616958
Cancer (e.g., hepatocellular carcinoma) Altered S1PR2 expression modulates tumor cell migration and angiogenesis; may act as a tumor suppressor or promoter depending on context. COSMIC; PubMed studies
Autoimmune diseases (e.g., multiple sclerosis) S1PR2 regulates lymphocyte egress from lymphoid organs; aberrant signaling contributes to neuroinflammation. NCBI Gene; literature review

Mutations & Variants

Hotspot Mutations
Variant Type Frequency Functional Description
c.587G>A (p.Arg196His) Missense <0.01% Reduced receptor activity; associated with hearing loss (ClinVar)
c.1A>G (p.Met1?) Start loss <0.01% Loss of protein expression; pathogenic in deafness (ClinVar)
c.832C>T (p.Arg278*) Nonsense <0.01% Premature truncation; loss of function (ClinVar)
Mutation functional classification

Loss of Function (LOF)

Missense, nonsense, and start-loss variants that impair S1P binding or receptor activation, leading to reduced downstream signaling (e.g., hearing loss).

Gain of Function (GOF)

Not well-documented; some cancer-associated variants may enhance signaling but require further validation.

Dominant Negative (DN)

Not reported for S1PR2.

Protein Summary

S1PR2 is a 353-amino acid integral membrane protein with seven transmembrane domains. It couples primarily to Gαi/o and Gα12/13 proteins, activating Rho and inhibiting adenylyl cyclase. The receptor mediates S1P-induced cell contraction, migration, and survival. It is expressed in multiple tissues, with highest levels in liver and spleen. Structural studies reveal a conserved S1P binding pocket critical for ligand recognition.
