Did you mean PGD2 Receptor?

GlossaryProstaglandin D2 Receptor (PGD2 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.
