[edit] Subcellular Localization

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

[edit] Developmental Stage

[edit] Similarity

Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.

[edit] Post translational Modification

[edit] Function

Receptor for prostaglandin D2 (PGD2). The activity of this receptor is mainly mediated by G(s) proteins that stimulate adenylate cyclase, resulting in an elevation of intracellular cAMP. A mobilization of calcium is also observed, but without formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate.
