Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor explained

The cysteinyl leukotriene receptors (CysLTRs) include the following two receptors:

• Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CysLTR1)
• Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 2 (CysLTR2)

The recently elucidated CysLT_E, represented by GPR99/OXGR1, may constitute a third CysLTR.^[1]
