Leukotriene receptor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The leukotriene (LT) receptors are G protein-coupled receptors that bind and are activated by the leukotrienes. They include the following proteins:

The recently elucidated CysLTE, represented by GPR99/OXGR1, may constitute a third CysLTR.[1]
