Function | Receptor for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (PubMed:7883006, PubMed:7981210, PubMed:8117308, PubMed:8135729, PubMed:8307176). The activity of this receptor can couple to both the inhibition of adenylate cyclase mediated by G(i) proteins, and to an elevation of intracellular calcium (PubMed:7883006, PubMed:7981210, PubMed:8117308, PubMed:8135729). Required for normal development of fever in response to pyrinogens, including IL1B, prostaglandin E2 and bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Required for normal potentiation of platelet aggregation by prostaglandin E2, and thus plays a role in the regulation of blood coagulation. Required for increased HCO3(-) secretion in the duodenum in response to mucosal acidification, and thereby contributes to the protection of the mucosa against acid- induced ulceration. Not required for normal kidney function, normal urine volume and osmolality (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Detected in kidney (PubMed:8117308, PubMed:8135729). Expressed in small intestine, heart, pancreas, gastric fundic mucosa, mammary artery and pulmonary vessels |

Background
PTGER3 is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family. This protein is one of four receptors identified for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). This receptor may have many biological functions, which involve digestion, nervous system, kidney reabsorption, and uterine contraction activities. Studies of the mouse counterpart suggest that this receptor may also mediate adrenocorticotropic hormone response as well as fever generation in response to exogenous and endogenous stimuli.
