		Gene Name		PTGDR
		Uniprot ID		PD2R_HUMAN
		KEGG Pathway		hsa:5729
		Protein Family		G-protein coupled receptor 1 family
		Protein Function		Receptor for prostaglandin D2 (PGD2). The activity of this receptor is mainly mediated by G(s) proteins that stimulate adenylate cyclase, resulting in an elevation of intracellular cAMP. A mobilization of calcium is also observed, but without formation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (By similarity). Involved in PLA2G3-dependent maturation of mast cells. PLA2G3 is secreted by immature mast cells and acts on nearby fibroblasts upstream to PTDGS to synthesize PGD2, which in turn promotes mast cell maturation and degranulation via PTGDR (By similarity).

		Gene Name		ACE
		Uniprot ID		ACE_HUMAN
		KEGG Pathway		hsa:1636
		Protein Family		Peptidase M2 family
		Protein Function		Converts angiotensin I to angiotensin II by release of the terminal His-Leu, this results in an increase of the vasoconstrictor activity of angiotensin. Also able to inactivate bradykinin, a potent vasodilator. Has also a glycosidase activity which releases GPI-anchored proteins from the membrane by cleaving the mannose linkage in the GPI moiety.

Mechanism Description		Additive hypotensive effects by the combination of Treprostinil and Trandolapril

Recommended Action
Management		While therapies that target the prostacyclin pathway have been used in combination with diuretics, antihypertensives, or other vasodilators in the management of pulmonary arterial hypertension, caution is recommended if they must be administered concurrently. If these drugs are used together, it is generally recommended that blood pressure be measured more frequently until a stable blood pressure pattern is observed. Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their doctor if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostatic hypotension, or tachycardia.
