Prostaglandin receptor
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Jump to: navigation, search
There are currently ten known prostaglandin receptors on various cell types. Prostaglandins bind to a subfamily of cell surface seven-transmembrane receptors, G-protein-coupled receptors.[1]
These receptors are named:
- DP - DP1, DP2 receptors
- EP - EP1, EP2, EP3, EP4 receptors
- FP - FP
- IP - IP1, IP2 receptors
- TP - TP receptor
The names of these receptors correspond to the prostaglandin that they bind (e.g., DP1-2 receptors bind to PGD2).
