Descriptor English: Receptors, Prostaglandin
Descriptor Spanish: Receptores de Prostaglandina
Descriptor receptores de prostaglandinas
Scope note: Receptores de la superficie celular que poseen alta afinidad para unirse a las prostaglandinas y que generan cambios intracelulares que influyen sobre el comportamiento de las células. Los subtipos del receptor de prostaglandina se han denominado de acuerdo con sus afinidades relativas para las prostaglandinas endógenas. Incluyen aquellos con preferencia por las prostaglandinas D2 (receptores DP), prostaglandina E2 (receptores EP1, EP2, y EP3), prostaglandina F2-alfa (receptores FP) y prostaciclina (receptores IP).

Scope note: Cell surface receptors that bind prostaglandins with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes which influence the behavior of cells. Prostaglandin receptor subtypes have been tentatively named according to their relative affinities for the endogenous prostaglandins. They include those which prefer prostaglandin D2 (DP receptors), prostaglandin E2 (EP1, EP2, and EP3 receptors), prostaglandin F2-alpha (FP receptors), and prostacyclin (IP receptors).
