   G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a vast protein family that 
   encompasses a wide range of functions (including various autocrine, para-
   crine and endocrine processes). They show considerable diversity at the 
   sequence level, on the basis of which they can be separated into distinct 
   groups. We use the term clan to describe the GPCRs, as they embrace a group
   of families for which there are indications of evolutionary relationship, 
   but between which there is no statistically significant similarity in 
   sequence [1,2]. The currently known clan members include the rhodopsin-like 
   GPCRs, the secretin-like GPCRs, the cAMP receptors, the fungal mating
   pheromone receptors, and the metabotropic glutamate receptor family.
   
   The rhodopsin-like GPCRs themselves represent a widespread protein family 
   that includes hormone, neurotransmitter and light receptors, all of
   which transduce extracellular signals through interaction with guanine
   nucleotide-binding (G) proteins. Although their activating ligands vary 
   widely in structure and character, the amino acid sequences of the 
   receptors are very similar and are believed to adopt a common structural 
   framework comprising 7 transmembrane (TM) helices [3-5]. 
  
   Lysophospholipids (LPs), such as lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), sphingosine
   1-phosphate (S1P) and sphingosylphosphorylcholine (SPC), have long been
   known to act as signalling molecules in addition to their roles as
   intermediates in membrane biosynthesis [6]. They have roles in the
   regulation of cell growth, differentiation, apoptosis and development, and
   have been implicated in a wide range of pathophysiological conditions,
   including: blood clotting, corneal wounding, subarachinoid haemorrhage,
   inflammation and colitis [7]. A number of G protein-coupled receptors bind
   members of the lysophospholipid family. These include: the cannabinoid
   receptors; platelet activating factor receptor; OGR1, an SPC receptor
   identified in ovarian cancer cell lines; PSP24, an orphan receptor that has
   been proposed to bind LPA; and at least 8 closely related receptors, the EDG
   family, that bind LPA and S1P [6]. 
   
   SPC is produced from degradation of sphingomyelin and regulates many diverse
   cellular functions, such as: proliferation, growth inhibition, smooth muscle
   contraction and wound healing [6,8]. It is also thought to play a role in
   the cardiovascular system and potently activates inwardly rectifying K+
   channels, suggesting a possible role in regulation of heart rate [6].
   
   Lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) is produced by the action of phospholipase A2
   on phosphatidylcholine and promotes inflammatory effects, such as monocyte
   chemotaxis, increased expression of endothelial cell adhesion molecules and
   growth factors, and macrophage activation. LPC also plays a role in
   atherosclerosis and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of systemic
   lupus erythematosus, an autoimmune disease [9].
   
   The orphan receptor GPR4 has been identified as a high affinity receptor for
   SPC and a lower affinity receptor for LPC [10]. GPR4 is expressed at highest
   levels in the ovary, liver, lung, kidney, lymph nodes and subthalamic
   nuclei. Activation of GPR4 mediates an increase in intracellular calcium,
   activation of serum response element, ERK kinase activation and stimulation
   of cell migration [10].
  
   GPR4RECEPTOR is an 8-element fingerprint that provides a signature for the
   GPR4 sphingosylphosphorylcholine and lysophosphatidylcholine receptors. The
   fingerprint was derived from an initial alignment of 2 sequences: the motifs
   were drawn from conserved sections within N- and C-terminal and loop
   regions, focusing on those areas of the alignment that characterise the GPR4
   receptors but distinguish them from the rest of the lysophospholipid
   receptor family - motif 1 resides at the N-terminus, leading into TM domain
   1; motif 2 lies in the second cytoplasmic loop, leading into TM domain 4;
   motif 3 spans the C-terminal portion of TM domain 4, leading into the second
   external loop; motif 4 lies in the second external loop; motif 5 spans the
   third cytoplasmic loop; motif 6 encodes the third external loop; and motifs
   7 and 8 reside at the C-terminus. A single iteration on SPTR40_18f was
   required to reach convergence, no further sequences being identified beyond
   the starting set.
