Preparation and Storage

Background: PTGER2

Prostaglandin E2 receptor (PTGER2) is a 53 kDa member of the G-protein coupled receptor family of proteins. Human PTGER2 is 358 amino acids (aa) in length and has the seven putative transmembrane domains characteristic of G-protein coupled receptors. In addition, there are four potential sites for N-linked glycosylation.  Human PTGER2 shares 86% and 83% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat PTGER2, respectively. PTGER2 is present in the vasculature, the gastrointestinal, tracheobronchial, and reproductive tracts, the kidney, and also in the sphincter, dilator, and ciliary muscles in the eye.  PTGER2 is linked to prostaglandin E2-mediated vasodilation and smooth muscle relaxation. It is also involved in the stimulation of secretion in the stomach and small intestine, the control of intraocular pressure, and the regulation of bone resorption.
