The role of some lipids and their metabolites in programmed cell death (lipoapoptosis).
Acta Biomedica Scientifica, 2022 In recent years, the understanding of the mechanisms involved in the regulation of lipoapoptosis signaling pathways has expanded considerably. However, many mechanisms of apoptosis induction by lipids as well as molecules mediating intracellular and ...

Prostaglandin E Receptors [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2007 Prostaglandin (PG) E(2) exerts its actions by acting on a group of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). There are four GPCRs responding to PGE(2) designated subtypes EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4 and multiple splicing isoforms of the subtype EP3. The EP subtypes exhibit differences in signal transduction, tissue localization, and regulation of expression ...

Prostaglandin E Synthases in Zebrafish [PDF]
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2005 Objective— Prostaglandin E synthases (PGESs) are being explored as antiinflammtory drug targets as alternatives to cyclooxygenase (COX)-2. Located downstream of the cyclooxygenases, PGESs catalyze PGE 2 formation, and deletion of microsomal (m)-PGES-1 abrogates inflammation ...

Prostaglandin E Synthase, a Terminal Enzyme for Prostaglandin E2 Biosynthesis [PDF]
BMB Reports, 2005 Biosynthesis of prostanoids is regulated by three sequential enzymatic steps, namely phospholipase A2 enzymes, cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, and various lineagespecific terminal prostanoid synthases. Prostaglandin E synthase (PGES), which isomerizes COX-derived PGH2 specifically to PGE2, occurs in multiple forms with distinct enzymatic properties ...
