Gene information for PTGDR2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID11251
Official gene symbolPTGDR2
Full nameG protein-coupled receptor 44
Aliases,CD294,CRTH2,DL1R,DP2,GPR44,
Gene summaryThis 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 asthama susceptibility.
