    Abstract

    Since the discovery of the lysophospholipid-sensitive receptor GPR55, hopes have been raised that targeting this G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) may represent a novel approach for the treatment of metabolic disorders. We discuss conflicting evidence surrounding GPR55 physiology and highlight its potential as a novel target for the treatment of obesity and diabetes.
