Gene: HPGDS
Alternate names for this Gene: GSTS|GSTS1|GSTS1-1|PGD2|PGDS
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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 4
Location in Chromosome : 4q22.3
Description of this Gene: hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase
Type of Gene: protein-coding
