Biological function summary
EP4 receptor influences numerous functions including inflammation immune response and bone metabolism. The receptor is not part of a larger complex but interacts with different signaling molecules and secondary messengers during its activity. It modulates responses mainly through cAMP which further amplifies or reduces cellular responses depending on the context. These biological roles display the versatile effects EP4 can exert during various physiological scenarios.
Pathways
The EP4 receptor is a significant component in the prostaglandin signaling pathway. This pathway involves the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin E2 followed by binding to EP4 triggering downstream effects via cAMP-related signals. Within this pathway it interacts closely with proteins like adenylate cyclase which plays a role in regulating cAMP levels. EP4 also participates in the Wnt signaling pathway where it can either enhance or inhibit processes by interacting with other signaling cascade proteins.

General info
Function
Receptor for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The activity of this receptor is mediated by G(s) proteins that stimulate adenylate cyclase. Has a relaxing effect on smooth muscle. May play an important role in regulating renal hemodynamics, intestinal epithelial transport, adrenal aldosterone secretion, and uterine function.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
Post-translational modifications
Phosphorylation mediates agonist-mediated desensitization by promoting cytoplasmic retention.
