PTGER1 (Prostanoid EP1 receptor)

PTGER1, Prostaglandin E Receptor 1, comprises 402 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 41,858 and has the 7 predicted transmembrane-spanning domains common to all G protein-coupled receptors. The PTGER1 gene is mapped to chromosome 19p13.1. The 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, Gq 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.\n\nUniProt Number:\nP34995\n\nGene ID:\nPTGER1\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Handling:\nStore at -20?C for one year.
