    GlossaryProstaglandin D2 Receptor

    protein on cell surfaces that binds prostaglandin D2, affecting hair growth

    The Prostaglandin D2 Receptor (often abbreviated as PTGDR or PTGDR2) is a protein found on the surface of certain cells that binds to prostaglandin D2, a type of lipid compound involved in various physiological processes. This receptor plays a significant role in inflammatory responses and has been linked to conditions like asthma and hair loss, particularly androgenetic alopecia, where its activation can inhibit hair growth.
