Gene information for PTGES2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID80142
Official gene symbolPTGES2
Full nameprostaglandin E synthase 2
Aliases,C9orf15,FLJ14038,GBF1,MGC11289,PGES2,mPGES-2,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a membrane-associated prostaglandin E synthase, which catalyzes the conversion of prostaglandin H2 to prostaglandin E2. This protein also has been shown to activate the transcription regulated by a gamma-interferon-activated transcription element (GATE). Multiple transcript variants have been found for this gene.
