Prostaglandin E2 receptor EP1 subtype

UniProt P34995 Organism Homo sapiens Gene PTGER1

Also known as: PTGER1

Function

Receptor for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The activity of this receptor is mediated by G(q) proteins which activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. May play a role as an important modulator of renal function. Implicated the smooth muscle contractile response to PGE2 in various tissues.
