HPGDS

Gene
HPGDS
Protein
Hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase
Organism
Gallus gallus
Length
199 amino acids
Function
Bifunctional enzyme which catalyzes both the conversion of PGH2 to PGD2, a prostaglandin involved in smooth muscle contraction/relaxation and a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation, and the conjugation of glutathione with a wide range of aryl halides, organic isothiocyanates and alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyls. Also exhibits low glutathione-peroxidase activity towards cumene hydroperoxide and t-butyl hydroperoxide.
Similarity
Belongs to the GST superfamily. Sigma family.
Mass
