Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of PTGIR in human tissue homogenates, cell lysates.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family 1 and has been shown to be a receptor for prostacyclin. Prostacyclin, the major product of cyclooxygenase in macrovascular endothelium, elicits a potent vasodilation and inhibition of platelet aggregation through binding to this receptor.
