Data Sheet

Background: The human prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptor EP2 (PTGER2) is abundantly expressed in various tissues including the corneal epithelium of the eye, spinal cord, forebrain, articular cartilage, and kidney. EP2 plays important roles in bronchodilation, dilation of arterioles and venules, blood pressure regulation, smooth muscle relaxation, and bone formation. Modification of PGE2-EP2 receptor signaling may provide a new therapeutic strategy for renal regulation and blood pressure illnesses, as well as bone disease such as osteoarthritis.
