Abstract
Prostaglandins and prostacyclin are metabolites of arachidonic acid and exert a variety of actions to maintain local homeostasis in the body. Their actions are mediated by cell surface receptors specific to the respective ligands. Using a panel of interspecific backcross mice, we have mapped the prostaglandin D receptor gene (Ptgdr), prostaglandin E receptor subtype EP1 gene (Ptgerep1), prostaglandin F receptor gene (Ptgfr), and prostacyclin receptor gene (Ptgir). Ptgdr mapped to proximal Chr 14, Ptgfr mapped to distal Chr 3, Ptgerep1 mapped to middle Chr 8, and Ptgir mapped to proximal Chr 7.
