PTGER1 - prostaglandin E receptor 1 Gene
Also Known as EP1
Species: Homo sapiens
About PTGER1
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 238 orthologues and 7 paralogues. Biased expression in kidney (RPKM 4.8), spleen (RPKM 1.1) and 3 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor family. This protein is one of four receptors identified for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Through a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system, G-Q proteins mediate this receptor's activity. Knockout studies in mice suggested a role of this receptor in mediating algesia and in regulation of blood pressure. Studies in mice also suggested that this gene may mediate adrenocorticotropic hormone response to Bacterial endotoxin. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
