Biological Information
Background Information:
Prostanoid receptors belong to the superfamily of G protein-coupled seven transmembrane proteins. G-protein-coupled receptors constitute one of the major signal transduction systems in eukaryotic cells. Coding sequences for these receptors, in those regions believed to contribute to the agonist-antagonist binding site, are strongly conserved across mammalian species. The EP1 prostanoid receptor is activated by prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and it is most highly expressed in Kidney, myometrium and GI smooth muscle.
