Protein
15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase [NAD(+)]
Function
Prostaglandin inactivation. Contributes to the regulation of events that are under the control of prostaglandin levels. Catalyzes the NAD-dependent dehydrogenation of lipoxin A4 to form 15-oxo-lipoxin A4. Inhibits in vivo proliferation of colon cancer cells.
Similarity
Belongs to the short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR) family.
