(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5731
Official gene symbolPTGER1
Full nameprostaglandin E receptor 1 (subtype EP1), 42kDa
Aliases,EP1,
Gene summaryThe 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]
