cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 2
Alias
CYSLT2 | CYSLT2R | GPCR21 | HG57 | HPN321 | KPG_011 | PSEC0146 | hGPCR21
The cysteinyl leukotrienes LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4 are important mediators of human bronchial asthma. Pharmacologic studies have determined that cysteinyl leukotrienes activate at least 2 receptors, the protein encoded by this gene and CYSLTR1. This encoded receptor is a member of the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors. It seems to play a major role in endocrine and cardiovascular systems. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
