Description
The cysteinyl leukotrienes (cysLTs) (LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4) contract airway and pulmonary vascular smooth muscle, increase vascular permeability and stimulate mucus secretion, thereby playing a major role in asthma.{3956,2069,3483,4157} LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4 mediate their actions via at least 2 receptors designated CysLT1 and CysLT2.{3956} Cloning of the human CysLT2 receptor reveals it is a 346 amino acid protein with 38% homology to the human CysLT1 receptor.{8519,7174} The rank order of binding for leukotrienes to the cloned receptor, as determined using a radioligand binding assay, is LTC4 = LTD4 >> LTE4.{8519} The mRNA for the human CysLT2 receptor is expressed in lung macrophages, airway smooth muscle, cardiac Purkinje cells, adrenal medulla cells, peripheral blood leukocytes, spleen, placenta, and brain.{8519,9059}
