Storage | At -20˚C for one year. After r˚Constitution, at 4˚C for one month. It˚Can also be aliquotted and stored frozen at -20˚C for a longer time.Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. |
Sequence Similarities | Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. |
Name | 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. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. |
Tissue Location | Abundant in kidney. Lower level expression in lung, skeletal muscle and spleen, lowest expression in testis and not detected in liver brain and heart |

Background
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.
