Facts about Prostaglandin D2 receptor 2.
Receptor activation may result in pertussis toxin- sensitive decreases in cAMP levels and Ca(2+) mobilization. PI3K signaling can be implicated in mediating PTGDR2 effects.

Widespread expression. High expression in stomach, small intestine, heart and thymus. Intermediate expression in colon, spinal cord and peripheral blood and low expression in brain, skeletal muscle and spleen. Expressed also on Th2- and Tc2- type cells, eosinophils and basophils.
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Internalized receptors colocalized with RAB11A.
