Prostaglandin E2 receptor information


The prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptors are G protein-coupled receptors that bind and are activated by prostaglandin E2. They are members of the prostaglandin receptors class of receptors and include the following Protein isoforms:

  • Prostaglandin E2 receptor 1 (EP1) - PTGER1
  • Prostaglandin E2 receptor 2 (EP2) - PTGER2
  • Prostaglandin E2 receptor 3 (EP3) - PTGER3
  • Prostaglandin E2 receptor 4 (EP4) - PTGER4
