Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable prostaglandin E receptor activity. Involved in adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; cellular response to prostaglandin E stimulus; and response to progesterone. Acts upstream of or within regulation of cell population proliferation; response to lipopolysaccharide; and response to nematode. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and integumental system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma, nasal polyps, and aspirin intolerance. Orthologous to human PTGER2 (prostaglandin E receptor 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for one targeted null mutation exhibit increased blood pressure when fed a high-salt diet. Female mutants for 2 null alleles have small litters due to impaired ovulation.
