GPR44 (G protein-coupled receptor 44), also known as CRTH2 (Chemoattractant Receptor-Homologous Molecule expressed on Th2 cells), is a class A G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) primarily involved in inflammatory and immune responses. It was first identified in 2001 as a receptor for prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), a lipid mediator derived from arachidonic acid. Structurally, GPR44 features seven transmembrane domains characteristic of GPCRs and is expressed on immune cells such as Th2 lymphocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. Its activation by PGD2 triggers intracellular signaling via Gi/o proteins, leading to reduced cAMP levels, calcium mobilization, and chemotaxis, thereby amplifying allergic inflammation.
Research has linked GPR44 to pathologies including asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and certain cancers. Its role in Th2-mediated inflammation makes it a therapeutic target for allergic diseases. Recombinant GPR44 protein—produced through heterologous expression systems like mammalian or insect cells—retains the receptor’s native conformation and functionality, enabling biochemical and pharmacological studies. Purification typically involves affinity chromatography with tags like His or FLAG. This recombinant protein is instrumental in drug discovery, particularly for screening antagonists to block PGD2-GPR44 interactions. Several small-molecule antagonists (e.g., fevipiprant) have entered clinical trials for asthma treatment. Additionally, it aids in structural studies to elucidate ligand-binding mechanisms and develop targeted therapies. Despite progress, challenges remain in optimizing receptor stability and understanding its dual pro-/anti-inflammatory roles in different disease contexts.
