PTGDR2 - prostaglandin D2 receptor 2 Gene
Also Known as DP2; DL1R; CD294; CRTH2; GPR44
Species: Homo sapiens
About PTGDR2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 206 orthologues and 17 paralogues. Broad expression in stomach (RPKM 4.7), colon (RPKM 3.6) and 21 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a G-protein-coupled receptor that is preferentially expressed in CD4+ effector T helper 2 (Th2) cells. This protein is a prostaglandin D2 receptor that mediates the pro-inflammatory chemotaxis of eosinophils, basophils, and Th2 lymphocytes generated during allergic inflammation. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the 3' UTR of this gene have been associated with asthma susceptibility.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
