(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID145482
Official gene symbolPTGR2
Full nameprostaglandin reductase 2
Aliases,DKFZp686P10120,FLJ39091,FLJ99229,PGR2,ZADH1,
Gene summaryThis 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. [provided by RefSeq]
