Anti-HPGD / 15-PGDH

In 1X PBS, pH 7.4, with 0.09% sodium azide. HPGD is a member of the short-chain nonmetalloenzyme alcohol dehydrogenase protein family. This protein is responsible for the metabolism of prostaglandins, which function in a variety of physiologic and cellular processes such as inflammation. Protein function: Primary enzyme catalyzing the conversion of hydroxylated arachidonic acid species to their corresponding oxidized metabolites (Probable). Prostaglandin inactivation, catalyzes the first step in the catabolic pathway of the prostaglandins. Contributes to the regulation of events that are under the control of prostaglandin levels (PubMed:15574495, PubMed:16828555, PubMed:8086429). Catalyzes the NAD- dependent dehydrogenation of lipoxin A4 to form 15-oxo-lipoxin A4 (PubMed:10837478). Converts 11(R)-HETE to 11-oxo-5,8,12,14-(Z,Z,E,Z)- eicosatetraenoic acid (ETE) (PubMed:21916491). Has hydroxylated docosahexaenoic acid metabolites as substrates (PubMed:25586183). Converts resolvins E1, D1 and D2 to their oxo products which represents a mode of resolvins inactivation and stabilizes their anti-inflammatory actions (PubMed:16757471, PubMed:22844113).
