Activation of human GPR35 splice variant a (GPR35a) blocks LXR‑induced lipid accumulation in hepatocytes. A humanized knock-in mouse expressing hGPR35a‑HA in place of mouse Gpr35 demonstrated ligand-dependent suppression of hepatic lipid accumulation, overcoming species pharmacology mismatch seen in wild-type mice.
hGPR35a‑HA hepatocytes respond to lodoxamide (EC₅₀ ~17 nM) by blocking and reversing LXR‑induced lipid storage; wild-type mouse GPR35 was unresponsive due to ortholog pharmacological differences
