| Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 14764 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables prostaglandin D receptor activity; prostaglandin F receptor activity; and prostaglandin J receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adenylate cyclase-inhibiting G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; calcium-mediated signaling; and negative regulation of male germ cell proliferation. Predicted to be active in neuron projection and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma. Orthologous to human PTGDR2 (prostaglandin D2 receptor 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show enhanced IL-5 production and eosinophil recruitment into the lung in an allergic airway inflammatory model. In contrast, mice homozygous for a second knock-out allele exhibit lower serum IgE levels and reduced IgE-mediated inflammatory responses in skin. [provided by MGI curators] |
