Abstract excerpt
The prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) EP4 subtype is one of four prostanoid receptors that use PGE2 as the preferred ligand. We have investigated the agonist-mediated regulation of EP4 using a multifaceted approach. Short-term (30 min) agonist challenge of recombinant EP4 expressed in human embryonic kidney 293 cells (EP4-HEK293 cells) with PGE2 (1 microM) resulted in the desensitization of intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP)...
