Ptgfr Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable prostaglandin F receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; cellular response to prostaglandin D stimulus; and response to estradiol. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of apoptotic process and response to lipopolysaccharide. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and extracellular region. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human PTGFR (prostaglandin F receptor). [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 rat Ptgfr often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
