    basic FUNCTION
  • PGE2/ PTGER2 complex may regulate neoplastic cell function in cervical carcinoma in an autocrine/paracrine manner
  • promotes the growth of articular chondrocytes
  • PTGER2 receptor-cAMP signalling pathway implicated in the stimulation of progesterone production and 11betaHSD1 activity by prostaglandin E(2) in granulosa-lutein cells (Chandras 2007)
  • directs prostaglandin E2-mediated fibroblast responses via regulation of PTGER2 expression (Sagana 2009)
  • potential roles of inflammatory reaction by PTGER2 upregulation in carcinogenic process to microsatellite instability-high colorectal cancer (Baba 2010)
