PTGIS Gene

HGNC Family Cytochrome P450s (CYP)
Name prostaglandin I2 (prostacyclin) synthase
Description This gene encodes a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily of enzymes. The cytochrome P450 proteins are monooxygenases which catalyze many reactions involved in drug metabolism and synthesis of cholesterol, steroids and other lipids. However, this protein is considered a member of the cytochrome P450 superfamily on the basis of sequence similarity rather than functional similarity. This endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein catalyzes the conversion of prostglandin H2 to prostacyclin (prostaglandin I2), a potent vasodilator and inhibitor of platelet aggregation. An imbalance of prostacyclin and its physiological antagonist thromboxane A2 contribute to the development of myocardial infarction, stroke, and atherosclerosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nPTGIS, which encodes prostacyclin synthase, is the enzyme responsible for converting prostaglandin H₂ into prostacyclin (PGI₂), a key eicosanoid that mediates vasodilation, inhibits platelet aggregation, and exerts anti‐inflammatory effects. Detailed structural and mechanistic studies have revealed that PTGIS is an integral membrane protein whose catalytic domain and substrate access channel have been mapped by high‐resolution NMR and mutagenesis approaches. These studies have further characterized its reactive intermediates and dynamic conformational changes that underpin the enzyme’s unusual isomerization reaction."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "6"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nMultiple studies have shown that PTGIS expression is finely regulated through genetic and epigenetic mechanisms.
