T cell death-associated gene 8 (TDAG8) is a G-protein-coupled receptor mainly expressed in lymphoid organs and cancer tissues. TDAG8 shares high amino acid sequence homologies with recently reported proton-sensing G-protein-coupled receptors, G2A, OGR1, and GPR4. Here we have identified TDAG8 as a novel proton-sensing receptor. Upon acid stimulation, stably expressed TDAG8 was internalized from the plasma membrane. As a signaling pathway downstream of TDAG8, accumulation of cyclic AMP was observed in response to solutions with a pH value lower than 7.2. Furthermore, RhoA activation and actin rearrangement were elicited by acid-stimulated TDAG8. These results suggest that TDAG8 may play biological roles in immune response and cellular transformation under conditions accompanying tissue acidosis.
