COX1 Polyclonal Antibody

Ab type

Primary antibody

Background

PTGS1 is one of two genes encoding similar enzymes that catalyze the conversion of arachinodate to prostaglandin. Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1 regulates angiogenesis in endothelial cells, and is inhibited by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin. Based on its ability to function as both a cyclooxygenase and as a peroxidase, prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1 has been identified as a moonlighting protein. Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1 may promote cell proliferation during tumor progression. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
