Description
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
