Prostaglandin D2 receptor


The prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) receptors are G protein-coupled receptors that bind and are activated by prostaglandin D2.[1][2] Also known as PTGDR or DP receptors, they are important for various functions of the nervous system and inflammation. They include the following proteins:
