Prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase. The aspirin acetylation region.
Aspirin selectively acetylates Ser-530 of prostaglandin endoperoxide (PGH) synthase-1. This causes inactivation of the cyclooxygenase activity of the enzyme, but does not appreciably affect its peroxidase activity. Although the aspirin-acetylated enzyme is inactive, we found that PGH synthase-1 in which Ser-530 had been replaced with an alanine was ...

Characterization of the PGE2 pathway in arthritis and inflammation : mPGES-1 as a therapeutic target [PDF]
The inducible prostaglandin (PG) E2 pathway is defined by the concerted activities of the enzymes cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 and microsomal prostaglandin E synthase (mPGES)-1 in producing PGE2.

Regional distribution of the prostaglandin E2 receptor EP1 in the rat brain: accumulation in Purkinje cells of the cerebellum [PDF]
Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), is a major prostanoid produced by the activity of cyclooxygenases (COX) in response to various physiological and pathological stimuli. PGE2 exerts its effects by activating four specific E-type prostanoid receptors (EP1, EP2, EP3
