PGE synthase (I79) polyclonal antibody

Prostaglandin E synthase (PGE synthase), also known as PIG12 and MGST1-L1, is a member of protein super family MAPEG, which consists of membrane associated proteins involved in eicosanoid and glutathione metabolism. The expression of this membrane-associated protein can be induced by the pro-inflammatory cytokine, IL-1β. PGE synthase is expressed in seminal vesicles, deferent ducts, kidney, heart and spleen. The enzyme activity of PGE synthase in most organs is glutathione-dependent. PGE synthase may play a significant role in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
