EndoNet ID: ENR00730

To link to the content of EndoNet use the EndoNet ID that is given on the detail pages in the format ENX0000, where X is a place holder for the type of the component (e. g. R for receptor or C for anatomical structure).
As URL for the linking append this ID to the detail page for this type of component.
For an hormone that would be: 

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/hormone/ENH00000

It is also possible to use the search of EndoNet to link to the right detail page. The URL should look like 

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/search/ENC00000
If the search pattern is unambigious the user is directed to the corresponding detail page.

Synonyms

  • EP3
  • prostanoid EP3 receptor
  • PGE receptor, EP3 subtype
  • PGE2-R
  • prostaglandin E2 receptor, EP3 subtype

General information

  • The EP(3) receptor was detected in foetal osteoclasts, osteoblasts and osteocytes, but only in osteoclasts and some osteoblasts from adult bone. [1]

Binding hormones

  • PGE2
    • Mature human osteoclasts present 2 subtypes of EP receptors, namely EP3 and EP4, that mediate different actions of PGE2 on these cells: activation of the EP4 receptors inhibits actin ring formation and activation of the EP3 receptors increases the number of lamellipodia. [2]
  • PGE1
  • PGE3
    • The results obtained demonstrate that, like PGE2, PGE3 interacts with EP3. [3]
    • Our demonstration that PGE3 interacts with EP3 suggests that antagonism of this receptor may promote the inhibitory effects of this prostaglandin as well. [3]

Anatomical structures with this receptor

  • uterus

  • kidney

  • small_intestine

  • placenta

  • osteoblast

    Influences

    • positive interleukin 6
      • Il-6 is produced by osteoblasts, and its production is stimulated by PTH and PGE2. [4]
    • positive amphiregulin
      • In addition to PTH, PGE2 also strongly stimulates AR expression through the CREB phosphorylation pathway. [5]

  • osteoclast

  • monocyte

  • beta_cell_of_islet_of_Langerhans

    Influences

    • negative insulin
      • EP3 is the Prostaglandin E2 receptor subtype whose post-receptor effect is to decrease adenylyl cyclase activity and, thereby, insulin secretion. [6]
