Alcohol (chemistry)

In chemistry, an alcohol is a type of organic compound that carries at least one hydroxyl functional group bound to carbon.

See Prostaglandin H2 and Alcohol (chemistry)

Arachidonic acid

Arachidonic acid (AA, sometimes ARA) is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid 20:4(ω-6), or 20:4(5,8,11,14).

See Prostaglandin H2 and Arachidonic acid

Aspirin

Aspirin, also known as acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used to reduce pain, fever, and/or inflammation, and as an antithrombotic.

See Prostaglandin H2 and Aspirin

Cyclooxygenase

Cyclooxygenase (COX), officially known as prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS), is an enzyme (specifically, a family of isozymes) that is responsible for biosynthesis of prostanoids, including thromboxane and prostaglandins such as prostacyclin, from arachidonic acid. Prostaglandin H2 and Cyclooxygenase are prostaglandins.

See Prostaglandin H2 and Cyclooxygenase

Cyclooxygenase-1

Cyclooxygenase 1 (COX-1), also known as prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1 (HUGO PTGS1), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PTGS1 gene. Prostaglandin H2 and Cyclooxygenase-1 are prostaglandins.

See Prostaglandin H2 and Cyclooxygenase-1

Cyclooxygenase-2

Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), also known as Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (HUGO PTGS2), is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PTGS2 gene. Prostaglandin H2 and Cyclooxygenase-2 are prostaglandins.

See Prostaglandin H2 and Cyclooxygenase-2

Hydroquinone

Hydroquinone, also known as benzene-1,4-diol or quinol, is an aromatic organic compound that is a type of phenol, a derivative of benzene, having the chemical formula C6H4(OH)2.

See Prostaglandin H2 and Hydroquinone

Prostacyclin

Prostacyclin (also called prostaglandin I2 or PGI2) is a prostaglandin member of the eicosanoid family of lipid molecules. Prostaglandin H2 and Prostacyclin are prostaglandins.

See Prostaglandin H2 and Prostacyclin

Prostacyclin synthase

Prostaglandin-I synthase also known as prostaglandin I2 (prostacyclin) synthase (PTGIS) or CYP8A1 is an enzyme involved in prostanoid biosynthesis that in humans is encoded by the PTGIS gene.

See Prostaglandin H2 and Prostacyclin synthase

Prostaglandin

Prostaglandins (PG) are a group of physiologically active lipid compounds called eicosanoids that have diverse hormone-like effects in animals. Prostaglandin H2 and Prostaglandin are prostaglandins.

See Prostaglandin H2 and Prostaglandin

Prostaglandin D2

Prostaglandin D2 (or PGD2) is a prostaglandin that binds to the receptor PTGDR (DP1), as well as CRTH2 (DP2). Prostaglandin H2 and prostaglandin D2 are prostaglandins.

See Prostaglandin H2 and Prostaglandin D2

Prostaglandin D2 synthase

Prostaglandin-H2 D-isomerase (PTGDS) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PTGDS gene.

See Prostaglandin H2 and Prostaglandin D2 synthase

Prostaglandin E synthase

Prostaglandin E synthase (or PGE synthase) is an enzyme involved in eicosanoid and glutathione metabolism, a member of MAPEG family.

See Prostaglandin H2 and Prostaglandin E synthase

Prostaglandin E2

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), also known as dinoprostone, is a naturally occurring prostaglandin with oxytocic properties that is used as a medication. Prostaglandin H2 and prostaglandin E2 are prostaglandins.

See Prostaglandin H2 and Prostaglandin E2

Prostaglandin G2

Prostaglandin G2 is an organic peroxide belonging to the family of prostaglandins. Prostaglandin H2 and prostaglandin G2 are prostaglandins.

See Prostaglandin H2 and Prostaglandin G2

Thromboxane A2

Thromboxane A2 (TXA2) is a type of thromboxane that is produced by activated platelets during hemostasis and has prothrombotic properties: it stimulates activation of new platelets as well as increases platelet aggregation.

See Prostaglandin H2 and Thromboxane A2

Thromboxane receptor

The thromboxane receptor (TP) also known as the prostanoid TP receptor is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TBXA2R gene, The thromboxane receptor is one among the five classes of prostanoid receptors and was the first eicosanoid receptor cloned.

See Prostaglandin H2 and Thromboxane receptor

Thromboxane-A synthase

Thromboxane A synthase 1 (platelet, cytochrome P450, family 5, subfamily A), also known as TBXAS1, is a cytochrome P450 enzyme that, in humans, is encoded by the TBXAS1 gene.

See Prostaglandin H2 and Thromboxane-A synthase

1,2-Dioxane

1,2-Dioxane or o-dioxane is an organic compound with the molecular formula (CH)O, classified as a cyclic peroxide. Prostaglandin H2 and 1,2-Dioxane are organic peroxides.

See Prostaglandin H2 and 1,2-Dioxane

12-Hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid

12-Hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid (also termed 12-HHT, 12(S)-hydroxyheptadeca-5Z,8E,10E-trienoic acid, or 12(S)-HHTrE) is a 17 carbon metabolite of the 20 carbon polyunsaturated fatty acid, arachidonic acid.
