The contractile and inflammatory actions of the cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs), LTC 4, LTD
4, and LTE 4, are thought to be mediated through at least two distinct but related CysLT G
protein-coupled receptors. The human CysLT 1 receptor has been recently cloned and
characterized. We describe here the cloning and characterization of the second cysteinyl
leukotriene receptor, CysLT 2, a 346-amino acid protein with 38% amino acid identity to the
CysLT 1 receptor. The recombinant human CysLT 2 receptor was expressed in …
