Prostacyclin receptor (or prostaglandin I2 receptor) is a receptor for prostacyclin.

It is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family. Prostacyclin, the major product of cyclooxygenase in macrovascular endothelium, elicits a potent vasodilation and inhibition of platelet aggregation through binding to this receptor.[1]

Contents

[edit] Transduction

When binding a prostacyclin-molecule, the receptor changes conformation and activates Gs, with its activation of cAMP and increase in protein kinase A (PKA) activity.

[edit] In vasodilation

In vasodilation, the PKA activity causes phosphorylation of MLCK, decreasing its activity, resulting in dephosphorylation of MLC of myosin. The smooth muscle relaxation leads to vasodilation.[2]

[edit] Gene

The receptor is encoded by the human gene PTGIR.[1]
