Gene information for CYSLTR2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID57105
Official gene symbolCYSLTR2
Full namecysteinyl leukotriene receptor 2
Aliases,CYSLT2,CYSLT2R,GPCR,HG57,HPN321,KPG_011,PSEC0146,hGPCR21,
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 CYSLTR1. This encoded receptor is a member of the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors. It seems to play a major role in endocrine and cardiovascular systems. [provided by RefSeq]
