PTGIR prostaglandin I2 receptor

Gene ID: 5739, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: IP; PRIPR

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family 1 and has been shown to be a receptor for prostacyclin. Prostacyclin, the major product of cyclooxygenase in macrovascular endothelium, elicits a potent vasodilation and inhibition of platelet aggregation through binding to this receptor.
