Prostaglandin receptor

There are currently ten known prostaglandin receptors on various cell types. Prostaglandins bind to a subfamily of cell surface seven-transmembrane receptors, G-protein-coupled receptors.

These receptors are named:
 * DP1-2 - DP1, DP2 receptors
 * EP1-4 - EP1, EP2, EP3, EP4 receptors
 * FP - FP
 * IP1-2 - IP1, IP2 receptors
 * TP - TP receptor

The names of these receptors correspond to the prostaglandin that they bind (e.g., DP1-2 receptors bind to PGD2).
