Prostaglandin F receptor (FP) is a GPCR for Prostaglandin F2alpha and is encoded by the PTGFR gene (Abramovitz M et al, 1994). Main effects of prostaglandin binding to the receptor are uterine contraction and bronchoconstriction. These effects are mediated by coupling with the G protein alpha q/11 subunit which activates a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system (Carrasco MP et al, 1997).
