Gene: PTGR2

Alternate names for this Gene: HEL-S-298|PGR2|ZADH1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes an enzyme involved in the metabolism of prostaglandins. The encoded protein catalyzes the NADPH-dependent conversion of 15-keto-prostaglandin E2 to 15-keto-13,14-dihydro-prostaglandin E2. This protein may also be involved in regulating activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 14

Location in Chromosome : 14q24.3

Description of this Gene: prostaglandin reductase 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
