Gene name

PTGES (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

MGST-IV, MGST1-L1, MGST1L1, PIG12, TP53I12

Description

Prostaglandin E synthase (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a glutathione-dependent prostaglandin E synthase. The expression of this gene has been shown to be induced by proinflammatory cytokine interleukin 1 beta (IL1B). Its expression can also be induced by tumor suppressor protein TP53, and may be involved in TP53 induced apoptosis. Knockout studies in mice suggest that this gene may contribute to the pathogenesis of collagen-induced arthritis and mediate acute pain during inflammatory responses. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
