UniProt functional annotation for P35408

UniProt code: P35408.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Receptor for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The activity of this receptor is mediated by G(s) proteins that stimulate adenylate cyclase. Has a relaxing effect on smooth muscle. May play an important role in regulating renal hemodynamics, intestinal epithelial transport, adrenal aldosterone secretion, and uterine function.
 
Subunit: Interacts with FEM1A. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16424369}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Tissue specificity: High in intestine and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells; low in lung, kidney, thymus, uterus, vasculature and brain. Not found in liver, heart, retina oe skeletal muscle.
Ptm: Phosphorylation mediates agonist-mediated desensitization by promoting cytoplasmic retention. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11597569, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14709160}.
Similarity: Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00521}.
