Transports PGD2, as well as PGE1, PGE2 and PGF2A. Mediates the clearance of prostaglandins from the circulation through uptake across cell membrane which allows cytoplasmic oxidation and prostaglandin signal termination. May mediate the release of newly synthesized prostaglandins from cells and the transepithelial transport of prostaglandins (Probable).
