Eicosanoid receptor - 1 reference result
An eicosanoid receptor is an integral membrane protein which detects the presence of eicosanoid signaling molecules. Most, though not all, are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). An example of a non-GPCR receptor that binds eicosanoids is PPAR-γ.
The following is a list of the known human eicosanoid GPCRs grouped according to the type of eicosanoid ligand that each binds:
Leukotriene
Leukotrienes:- CysLT1 (Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1) -
- CysLT2 (Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 2) -
- BLT1 (Leukotriene B4 receptor) -
- BLT2 (Leukotriene B4 receptor 2) -
Lipoxin
Lipoxins:- LXA4R (Formyl peptide receptor-like 1) -
Oxoeicosanoid
Oxoeicosanoid:Prostanoid
Prostanoids:- PGD2: DP-(PGD2)
- DP1 (Prostaglandin D2 receptor) -
- DP2 (GPR44) -
- PGE2:
- PGF2α: FP-(PGF2α) (PTGFR) -
- PGI2 (prostacyclin): IP-(PGI2) (PTGIR) -
- TXA2 (thromboxane): TP-(TXA2) (TBXA2R) -
