  2. 16. Structure and function of microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1

    Author : Sven-Christian Pawelzik; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The glutathione-dependent enzyme microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (MPGES1) plays a pivotal role in inflammatory diseases. MPGES1 is up-regulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines in concert with cyclooxygenase (COX) -2, and the concerted action of both enzymes leads to the production of induced prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), a potent lipid mediator of inflammation, pain, and fever.
