GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
PTGES2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
C9orf15, FLJ14038
Description
Prostaglandin E synthase 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a membrane-associated prostaglandin E synthase, which catalyzes the conversion of prostaglandin H2 to prostaglandin E2. This protein also has been shown to activate the transcription regulated by a gamma-interferon-activated transcription element (GATE). Multiple transcript variants have been found for this gene.
