PTGFR - prostaglandin F receptor Gene
Also Known as FP
Species: Homo sapiens
About PTGFR
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 195 orthologues and 7 paralogues. Broad expression in endometrium (RPKM 7.8), urinary bladder (RPKM 5.1) and 16 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is member of the G-protein coupled receptor family. This protein is a receptor for prostaglandin F2-alpha (PGF2-alpha), which is known to be a potent luteolytic agent, and may also be involved in modulating intraocular pressure and smooth muscle contraction in uterus. Knockout studies in mice suggest that the interaction of PGF2-alpha with this receptor may initiate parturition in ovarian luteal cells and thus induce luteolysis. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
