Ptger4 - prostaglandin E receptor 4 Gene

Rattus norvegicus

Also known as EP4; Ptger; Ptgerep4

Gene ID: 84023 | Gene type: protein coding

About Ptger4

Summary

Enables prostaglandin E receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle, sleep; regulation of cytokine production; and regulation of secretion. Located in several cellular components, including neuron projection terminus; neuronal cell body; and nuclear membrane. Used to study acute kidney failure; cystitis; end stage renal disease; myocarditis; and osteoporosis. Biomarker of retinal ischemia and transient cerebral ischemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ankylosing spondylitis; arteriosclerosis; and ulcerative colitis. Orthologous to human PTGER4 (prostaglandin E receptor 4).
