Description

Specificity
Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody specific to Prostaglandin E Synthase
Background
Prostaglandin E Synthase (PGES) is a membrane associated protein involved in eicosanoid and glutathione metabolism as part of the arachidonic acid signaling pathway. PGES expression is induced by the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1B, and its activity is glutathione dependent. PGES is also expressed at high levels in p53- expressing cells.

Antigen Details

Function
Terminal enzyme of the cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-mediated prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) biosynthetic pathway. Catalyzes the glutathione-dependent oxidoreduction of prostaglandin endoperoxide H2 (PGH2) to prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in response to inflammatory stimuli (PubMed:18682561, PubMed:10377395, PubMed:12672824, PubMed:12460774, PubMed:10869354, PubMed:12244105). Plays a key role in inflammation response, fever and pain (By similarity). Catalyzes also the oxidoreduction of endocannabinoids into prostaglandin glycerol esters and PGG2 into 15-hydroperoxy-PGE2 (PubMed:12244105, PubMed:12672824). In addition, displays low glutathione transferase and glutathione-dependent peroxidase activities, toward 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene and 5-hydroperoxyicosatetraenoic acid (5-HPETE), respectively (PubMed:12672824). {UniProtKB:Q9JM51, PubMed:10377395, PubMed:10869354, PubMed:12244105, PubMed:12460774, PubMed:12672824, PubMed:18682561}.
