{"symbol":"CYSLTR2","synonyms":["HPN321","CYSLT2","CYSLT2R","PSEC0146","HGPCR21","HG57","KPG_011"],"name":"cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 2","description":"The cysteinyl leukotrienes LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4 are important mediators of human bronchial asthma. Pharmacologic studies have determined that cysteinyl leukotrienes activate at least 2 receptors, the protein encoded by this gene and CYSLTR1. This encoded receptor is a member of the superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors. It seems to play a major role in endocrine and cardiovascular systems.
