Ptger2 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables prostaglandin E receptor activity. Involved in positive regulation of gastric mucosal blood circulation. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma, nasal polyps, and aspirin intolerance. Orthologous to human PTGER2 (prostaglandin E receptor 2).

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 Ptger2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
