products categories :
Family: GPCR. Subfamily: Prostanoid
products description :
GPR44, also called CRTH2, is a Prostanoid Receptor that binds prostaglandin D2. PGD2 signals through CRTH2 to induce Th2, eosinophil, and basophil chemotaxis in a G-alpha(i) dependent manner. CRTH2 may play a role in mast cell-mediated immune responses such as those involved in allergic reactions. This receptor is upregulated in activated T helper-2 (Th2) cells, peripheral blood basophils, and eosinophils, but not in Th1 lineage cells. It may be a useful marker for Th2 and Tc2 cells.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a G-protein-coupled receptor that is preferentially expressed in CD4+ effector T helper 2 (Th2) cells. This protein is a prostaglandin D2 receptor that mediates the pro-inflammatory chemotaxis of eosinophils, basophils, and Th2 lymphocytes generated during allergic inflammation. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the 3' UTR of this gene have been associated with asthma susceptibility.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
uniprot summary :
GPR44: Receptor for prostaglandin D2 (PGD2). Coupled to the G(i)-protein. Receptor activation may result in pertussis toxin- sensitive decreases in cAMP levels and Ca(2+) mobilization. PI3K signaling is also implicated in mediating PTGDR2 effects. PGD2 induced receptor internalization. CRTH2 internalization can be regulated by diverse kinases such as, PKC, PKA, ADRBK1/GRK2, GPRK5/GRK5 and GRK6. Receptor activation is responsible, at least in part, in immune regulation and allergic/inflammation responses. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. Protein type: Receptor, GPCR; Membrane protein, multi-pass; GPCR, family 1; Membrane protein, integral. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 11q12-q13.3. Cellular Component: neuron projection; integral to plasma membrane; plasma membrane. Molecular Function: G-protein coupled receptor activity; neuropeptide binding; prostaglandin F receptor activity; prostaglandin J receptor activity; prostaglandin D receptor activity. Biological Process: G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway; synaptic transmission; G-protein signaling, coupled to cyclic nucleotide second messenger; neuropeptide signaling pathway; positive regulation of G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway; calcium-mediated signaling; immune response; G-protein signaling, adenylate cyclase inhibiting pathway; chemotaxis
