The LPA<sub>1</sub> receptor consists of seven transmembrane alpha helices. It lies in the membrane as shown in Figure 2, and as shown by the <scene name='72/721545/Membrane/4'>fatty acid</scene> bound to it in orange. There are more <scene name='72/721545/Polarity/3'>polar</scene> (red) resides on the intercellular and extracellular areas of the receptor, while most residues positioned inside the membrane are hydrophobic (blue).

=== Structural Stabilization ===


There are many different stabilizing factors in the structure of this receptor. There are three native <scene name='72/721545/Disulfides/1'>disulfide bonds</scene> in the extracellular region.<ref name= "Chrencik"/> One of these bonds constrains the N terminal helix to extracellular loop 2. The <scene name='72/721545/N-terminus/1'>N-terminus</scene> functions like a cap on the extracellular side of the protein, packing tightly against ECL1 and ECL2. It also provides <scene name='72/721545/34_39_40/2'>polar amino acids</scene> that interact with the ligand when bound.
