Gene information for HPGD (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3248
Official gene symbolHPGD
Full namehydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase 15-(NAD)
Aliases,15-PGDH,PGDH,PGDH1,SDR36C1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the short-chain nonmetalloenzyme alcohol dehydrogenase protein family. The encoded enzyme is responsible for the metabolism of prostaglandins, which function in a variety of physiologic and cellular processes such as inflammation. Mutations in this gene result in primary autosomal recessive hypertrophic osteoarthropathy and cranioosteoarthropathy. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
