Background
prostaglandin F receptor(PTGFR) Homo sapiens The protein encoded by this gene is member of the G-protein coupled receptor family. This protein is a receptor for prostaglandin F2-alpha (PGF2-alpha), which is known to be a potent luteolytic agent, and may also be involved in modulating intraocular pressure and smooth muscle contraction in uterus. Knockout studies in mice suggest that the interaction of PGF2-alpha with this receptor may initiate parturition in ovarian luteal cells and thus induce luteolysis. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
function:Receptor for prostaglandin F2-alpha (PGF2-alpha). The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Initiates luteolysis in the corpus luteum.,similarity:Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.,
Protein name
Prostaglandin F2-alpha receptor (PGF receptor) (PGF2-alpha receptor) (Prostanoid FP receptor)
Fields
>>Calcium signaling pathway;>>Phospholipase D signaling pathway;>>Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction
