SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane

text	multi-pass membrane protein

basic FUNCTION	acting as a receptor for prostaglandin D2 (PGD2)
	being also a thromboxane receptor
	in addition to PTDGR2, PTDGR plays an important role in eosinophil trafficking, and comediate with PTGDR2 the mobilization of eosinophils from bone marrow and their chemotaxis, which might provide the rationale for D-type prostanoid antagonists in the treatment of allergic disease
	PTGDR and PTGDR2, act in concert to promote a number of biological effects associated with the development and maintenance of the allergic response
	may have suppressive effects in controlling MUC5B overproduction in the airway

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	prostaglandin D2 induces HMOX1 mRNA expression through the PTGDR
	balance between PTGDR and PTGDR2 could influence the degree of PGD2-induced eosinophil migration and PTGDR agonist might regulate eosinophil activation
