Summary
Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
|
This gene encodes a G-protein-coupled receptor that is preferentially expressed in CD4+ effector T helper 2 (Th2) cells. This protein is a prostaglandin D2 receptor that mediates the pro-inflammatory chemotaxis of eosinophils, basophils, and Th2 lymphocyt |

Protein name |
Prostaglandin D2 receptor 2 (Chemoattractant receptor-homologous molecule expressed on Th2 cells) (G-protein coupled receptor 44) (CD antigen CD294) |
Protein function |
Receptor for prostaglandin D2 (PGD2). Coupled to the G(i)-protein. Receptor activation may result in pertussis toxin-sensitive decreases in cAMP levels and Ca(2+) mobilization. PI3K signaling is also implicated in mediating PTGDR2 effects. PGD2 |
