Prostaglandin receptor

Prostaglandin receptor

There are currently nine known prostaglandin receptors on various cell types. Prostaglandins bind to a subfamily of cell surface seven-transmembrane receptors, G-protein-coupled receptors.cite journal | author = Tsuboi K, Sugimoto Y, Ichikawa A | title = Prostanoid receptor subtypes | journal = Prostaglandins Other Lipid Mediat. | volume = 68-69 | issue = | pages = 535–56 | year = 2002 | pmid = 12432942 | doi = | issn = ]

These receptors are named:
* DP2 - DP2 receptor
* EP1-4 - EP1 receptor, EP2 receptor, EP3 receptor, EP4 receptor
* FP - FP receptor
* IP - IP receptor

The names of these receptors correspond to the prostaglandin that they bind ("e.g.", DP1-2 receptors bind to PGD2).

ee also

* Eicosanoid receptor
* Prostaglandin
