PTGS2
(Prostaglandin-Endoperoxide Synthase 2 (Prostaglandin G/H Synthase and Cyclooxygenase) (PTGS2))
COX proteins are membrane-associated heme proteins that have cyclooxygenase and peroxidase activities. These enzymes are targets of NSAID (Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as aspirin. Prostaglandins (PGs) formed by the enzymatic activity of COX-1 are primarily involved in the regulation of homeostatic functions throughout the body, whereas PGs formed by COX-2 primarily mediate pain, fever, and inflammation. COX-1 is constitutively expressed, with particularly high expression in gastrointestinal tissues. COX-2 is induced by cytokines and mitogens and is likely to play a role in inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.Synonyms: COX2, Cyclooxygenase-2, PGH synthase 2, PGHS-2, PGHS2, PHS II, PTGS2, Prostaglandin G/H synthase 2, Prostaglandin H2 synthase 2, Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2
