Function May mediate the release of newly synthesized prostaglandins from cells, the transepithelial transport of prostaglandins, and the clearance of prostaglandins from the circulation. Transports PGD2, as well as PGE1, PGE2 and PGF2A.
Subcellular Localization Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Disease Associations Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy, primary, autosomal recessive, 2 (PHOAR2) [MIM:614441]: A disease characterized by digital clubbing, periostosis, acroosteolysis, painful joint enlargement, and variable features of pachydermia that include thickened facial skin and a thickened scalp. Other developmental anomalies include delayed closure of the cranial sutures and congenital heart disease. {ECO:0000269PubMed:22197487, ECO:0000269PubMed:22331663, ECO:0000269PubMed:22553128, ECO:0000269PubMed:22696055}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Tissue Specificity Ubiquitous. Significant expression observed in ling, kidney, spleen, and heart. {ECO:0000269PubMed:22331663}.
