Prostaglandin D2 receptor (DP1) is a G-protein coupled receptor, encoded by the PTGDR gene, for prostaglandin D2.[1]


Contents

Mechanism

DP1 is a G-protein-coupled receptor. Its activity is mainly mediated by G-S proteins that stimulate adenylate cyclase resulting in an elevation of intracellular cAMP and Ca2+.

Function

Knockout studies in mice suggest that the ligand of this receptor, prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), functions as a mast cell-derived mediator to trigger asthmatic responses.[1] It also causes vasodilation
