GPR65 (TDAG8), a Lysophospholipid/Lysosphingolipid Receptor, is a molecular target for psychosine, a toxic lipid formed by the breakdown of galactosylceramide (cerebroside). A build-up of psychosine, caused by the lack of galactosylceramidase, results in the death of the myelin-synthesizing cells, oligodendrocytes, which is associated with Krabbe disease. GPR65 has been reported in human in peripheral blood leukocytes, spleen, lymph node, and thymus. ESTs have been isolated from human B-cell/lung/testis, brain/lung/testis, pancreas/spleen, lung/spleen, leukocyte, embryo, kidney, liver/spleen, thyroid, and vessel libraries.
