{"symbol":"HPGDS","synonyms":["GSTS1-1","GSTS1","GSTS"],"name":"hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase","description":"Prostaglandin-D synthase is a sigma class glutathione-S-transferase family member. The enzyme catalyzes the conversion of PGH2 to PGD2 and plays a role in the production of prostanoids in the immune system and mast cells. The presence of this enzyme can be used to identify the differentiation stage of human megakaryocytes.
