Group enriched (prostate, smooth muscle, urinary bladder)
Protein evidence
Evidence at protein level
Protein expression
Cytoplasmic expression at variable levels in several tissues, high expression in squamous epithelia, megakaryocytes, fallopian tube, brain and subsets of cells in tissue stroma.
DATA RELIABILITY
Data reliability description
Antibody staining mainly consistent with RNA expression data. Paired antibodies with high similarity support the protein profile.
RNA tissue category: Group enriched (prostate, smooth muscle, urinary bladder)
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PTGS1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
COX1, PGHS-1, PTGHS
Description
Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1 (prostaglandin G/H synthase and cyclooxygenase) (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This is one of two genes encoding similar enzymes that catalyze the conversion of arachinodate to prostaglandin. The encoded protein regulates angiogenesis in endothelial cells, and is inhibited by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin. Based on its ability to function as both a cyclooxygenase and as a peroxidase, the encoded protein has been identified as a moonlighting protein. The protein may promote cell proliferation during tumor progression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]
