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).

      Key Mechanism Factor 2
Factor Name Adrenergic receptor alpha-1 Structure Sequence
Protein Family G-protein coupled receptor 1 family
Protein Function
This alpha-adrenergic receptor mediates its action by association with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. Its effect is mediated by G(q) and G(11) proteins. Nuclear ADRA1A-ADRA1B heterooligomers regulate phenylephrine(PE)-stimulated ERK signaling in cardiac myocytes.

      Mechanism Description
  • Additive hypotensive effects by the combination of Treprostinil and Terazosin 

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.
