Introduction | Prostaglandin Reductase 2 (PTGR2) is a member of the medium-chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily. PTGR2 is an enzyme involved in the metabolism of prostaglandins. PTGR2 catalyzes an NADPH-dependent reduction of the conjµgated alpha, beta-unsaturated double bond of 15-keto-PGE(2), which is a fundamental step in terminal inactivation of prostaglandins and suppression of PPARgamma-mediated adipocyte differentiation. Selective inhibition of PTGR2 may be a factor in the improvement of insulin sensitivity with fewer side effects. PTGR2 may also be involved in controlling activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor. |
Synonyms | Prostaglandin reductase 2, PRG-2, 15-oxoprostaglandin 13-reductase, Zinc-binding alcohol dehydrogenase domain-containing protein 1, PTGR2, ZADH1, PGR2. |
Source | Escherichia Coli. |
Physical Appearance | Sterile filtered colorless solution. |
