Gene information for CYSLTR1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10800
Official gene symbolCYSLTR1
Full namecysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1
Aliases,CYSLT1,CYSLT1R,CYSLTR,HG55,HMTMF81,MGC46139,
Gene summaryThe cysteinyl leukotrienes LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4 are important mediators of human bronchial asthma. Pharmacologic studies have determined that cysteinyl leukotrienes activate at least 2 receptors, the protein encoded by this gene and CYSLTR2. This encoded receptor is a member of the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors. Activation of this receptor by LTD4 results in contraction and proliferation of smooth muscle, oedema, eosinophil migration and damage to the mucus layer in the lung. [provided by RefSeq]
