General description
PTGER3 (prostaglandin E receptor 3) gene encodes a seven-transmembrane-spanning protein with multiple C-terminal tails. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 1p31.2 and consists of 10 exons interspaced by nine introns. The TM domain and the 10 amino acid residues of the cytoplasmic tail are encoded by exon1 and 5′ 180-bp portion of exon 2.
Immunogen
Prostaglandin E2 receptor EP3 subtype recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
Application
Anti-PTGER3 antibody produced in rabbit, a Prestige Antibody, is developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project . Each antibody is tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues. These images can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. The antibodies are also tested using immunofluorescence and western blotting. To view these protocols and other useful information about Prestige Antibodies and the HPA, visit sigma.com/prestige.

Biochem/physiol Actions
PTGER3 (prostaglandin E receptor 3) gene encodes a G-protein coupled receptor that functions as a receptor for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). It induces smooth-muscle contractility. It is moderately expressed in smooth muscle cells of the proximal, mid and distal ureter. It functions via cAMP response elements (CRE) and serves as a target for anti-inflammatory therapy in cutaneous inflammation. This receptor is mainly localized in primary sensory neurons and the spinal cord and functions in endogenous pain control. It has been found to be expressed in the joint nerves of patients with painful osteoarthritis. It plays a role in mediating antinociception during inflammation. It mediates contraction of human intercostal arteries by prostaglandin E2.
Features and Benefits
Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:
- IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
- Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.

The pain mediator prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) sensitizes nociceptive pathways through EP2 and EP4 receptors, which are coupled to Gs proteins and increase cAMP. However, PGE2 also activates EP3 receptors, and the major signaling pathway of the EP3 receptor splice variants

Arterial vascularization of the spinal cord may be mechanically or functionally altered during thoraco-abdominal surgery/intravascular procedures. Increased arterial pressure has been shown to restore spinal perfusion and function probably by increasing the blood flow through the intercostal arteries. The regulation
