EndoNet ID: ENR01302

To link to the content of EndoNet use the EndoNet ID that is given on the detail pages in the format ENX0000, where X is a place holder for the type of the component (e. g. R for receptor or C for anatomical structure).
As URL for the linking append this ID to the detail page for this type of component.
For an hormone that would be: 

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/hormone/ENH00000

It is also possible to use the search of EndoNet to link to the right detail page. The URL should look like 

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/search/ENC00000
If the search pattern is unambigious the user is directed to the corresponding detail page.

Synonyms

  • GPR44
  • DP2
  • G protein-coupled receptor 44
  • CRTH2

General information

  • seven-transmembrane G protein–coupled receptor [1]
  • preferentially expressed in T helper type 2 (Th2) cells, eosinophils, and basophils [2]
  • induces intracellular Ca2+ mobilization and chemotaxis in Th2 cells [1]
  • mediates PGD2-dependent cell migration of blood eosinophils and basophils (different to DP) [1]
  • likely involved in multiple aspects of allergic inflammation [1]
  • agonist is prostaglandin PGD2 [1]
  • CRTH2 is coupled with G alpha i-type G protein [1]
