Abstract
Significance Leukotriene E 4 (LTE 4 ), a lipid mediator detected in asthma exacerbations triggered by allergen, viruses, and aspirin, elicits airflow obstruction and lung inflammation in asthmatics. GPR99 is the recently identified high-affinity receptor for LTE 4 and is resistant to blockade by commercially available cysteinyl leukotriene (cysLT) receptor antagonists. Here we find that GPR99 is expressed in respiratory epithelial cells and...
