Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1

UniProt Q9Y271 Organism Homo sapiens Gene CYSLT1, CYSLTR1

Also known as: CYSLT1, CYSLTR1

Function

Receptor for cysteinyl leukotrienes mediating bronchoconstriction of individuals with and without asthma. Stimulation by LTD4 results in the contraction and proliferation of smooth muscle, edema, eosinophil migration and damage to the mucus layer in the lung. This response is mediated via a G protein that activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. The rank order of affinities for the leukotrienes is LTD4 >> LTE4 = LTC4 >> LTB4.
