| Description | COX-2, also known as prostaglandin H synthase, was identified less than a decade ago. Its discovery was followed by a period of discovery and drug development to create a "super aspirin" and led to insights into arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, colorectal cancer and regulation of brain and kidney function in search of better treatments for degenerative and inflammatory diseases. Two different isoforms of the enzyme are known, Cox-1 and Cox and Cox-2. |
About PTGS2 and Purified
| PTGS2 | Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS), also known as cyclooxygenase, is the key enzyme in prostaglandin biosynthesis, and acts both as a dioxygenase and as a peroxidase. There are two isozymes of PTGS: a constitutive PTGS1 and an inducible PTGS2, which differ in their regulation of expression and tissue distribution. This gene encodes the inducible isozyme. It is regulated by specific stimulatory events, suggesting that it is responsible for the prostanoid biosynthesis involved in inflammation and mitogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009] |
