GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PTGR2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FLJ39091, ZADH1
Description
Prostaglandin reductase 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes an enzyme involved in the metabolism of prostaglandins. The encoded protein catalyzes the NADPH-dependent conversion of 15-keto-prostaglandin E2 to 15-keto-13,14-dihydro-prostaglandin E2. This protein may also be involved in regulating activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
