Function Summary
  • Entrez 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
  • UniProt Summary: Bifunctional enzyme which catalyzes both the conversion of PGH2 to PGD2, a prostaglandin involved in smooth muscle contraction/relaxation and a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation, and the conjugation of glutathione with a wide range of aryl halides and organic isothiocyanates. Also exhibits low glutathione-peroxidase activity towards cumene hydroperoxide. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10824118, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11672424, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12627223, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15113825, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16547010, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19939518, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9353279, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9425264}.
