GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
HPGDS (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
GSTS, GSTS1, GSTS1-1, H-PGDS, PGD2, PGDS
Description
Hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
