The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of G-protein coupled receptors, that are preferentially activated by adenosine and uridine nucleotides. This gene aligns with an internal intron of the retinoblastoma susceptibility gene in the reverse orientation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

A study in humans identified the LPAR6 as an mRNA marker for age estimation, finding it to be increasingly expressed with age in a U.S. whole blood RNA-Seq dataset [Dørum et al. DOI:10.1016/j.fsigen.2023.102976]. This work, which analyzed dried blood stains and public data, generated candidate marker lists via DESeq2 and lasso regression, with the lasso-selected list achieving a mean absolute error of 4.35 years for age prediction in the U.S. dataset, demonstrating its efficacy for forensic age estimation from biological stains.
