products description :
Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (fatty acid cyclooxygenase; PGH synthase; Cox-2) is a key enzyme in prostaglandin biosynthesis. The first rate-limiting step in the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins is catalyzed by Cox-1 and Cox-2. The cyclooxygenase activity of Cox-2 is inhibited by nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs such as aspirin and endomethacin.

ncbi summary :
Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS), also known as cyclooxygenase, is the key enzyme in prostaglandin biosynthesis, and acts both as a dioxygenase and as a peroxidase. There are two isozymes of PTGS: a constitutive PTGS1 and an inducible PTGS2, which differ in their regulation of expression and tissue distribution. This gene encodes the inducible isozyme. It is regulated by specific stimulatory events, suggesting that it is responsible for the prostanoid biosynthesis involved in inflammation and mitogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2009]
