Ptger3 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables prostaglandin E receptor activity. Involved in positive regulation of fever generation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; bicarbonate transport; and fever generation. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and integumental system. Orthologous to human PTGER3 (prostaglandin E receptor 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ptger3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
