Gene: PTGR1

Alternate names for this Gene: DIG-1|LTB4DH|PGR1|ZADH3

Gene Summary: This gene encodes an enzyme that is involved in the inactivation of the chemotactic factor, leukotriene B4. The encoded protein specifically catalyzes the NADP+ dependent conversion of leukotriene B4 to 12-oxo-leukotriene B4. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 1. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 9

Location in Chromosome : 9q31.3

Description of this Gene: prostaglandin reductase 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
