(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID5739
Official gene symbolPTGIR
Full nameprostaglandin I2 (prostacyclin) receptor (IP)
Aliases,IP,MGC102830,PRIPR,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family 1 and has been shown to be a receptor for prostacyclin. Prostacyclin, the major product of cyclooxygenase in macrovascular endothelium, elicits a potent vasodilation and inhibition of platelet aggregation through binding to this receptor.
