Summary: Predicted to enable prostaglandin E receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including T-helper cell differentiation; cellular response to mechanical stimulus; and regulation of cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including regulation of ossification; response to lipopolysaccharide; and response to nematode. Predicted to be located in neuron projection terminus; neuronal cell body; and nuclear membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including arterial system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart valve; and skin. Used to study dilated cardiomyopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ankylosing spondylitis; arteriosclerosis; and ulcerative colitis. Orthologous to human PTGER4 (prostaglandin E receptor 4).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
