Hamster Prostaglandin F Receptor ELISA Kit
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is member of the G-protein coupled receptor family. This protein is a receptor for prostaglandin F2-alpha (PGF2-alpha), which is known to be a potent luteolytic agent, and may also be involved in modulating intraocular pressure and smooth muscle contraction in uterus. Knockout studies in mice suggest that the interaction of PGF2-alpha with this receptor may initiate parturition in ovarian luteal cells and thus induce luteolysis. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
PTGFR: Receptor for prostaglandin F2-alpha (PGF2-alpha). The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Initiates luteolysis in the corpus luteum. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1p31.1
Cellular Component: integral to plasma membrane; cytoplasm; extracellular region; plasma membrane
Molecular Function: prostaglandin F receptor activity
Biological Process: G-protein coupled receptor protein signaling pathway; positive regulation of cell proliferation; response to lipopolysaccharide; parturition; negative regulation of apoptosis

Product Notes
The Hamster FP ptgfr (Catalog #AAA041421) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA041421 ELISA Kit recognizes Hamster FP. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Prostaglandin F Receptor, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
