PTGIS - prostaglandin I2 synthase Gene
Also Known as CYP8; PGIS; PTGI; CYP8A1
Species: Homo sapiens
About PTGIS
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 250 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Broad expression in urinary bladder (RPKM 26.9), gall bladder (RPKM 23.0) and 16 other tissues.
Summary
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]
