  •  This gene encodes PTGS2, which shows 86% - 89% amino acid sequence identity with mouse, rat, sheep, bovine, horse and rabbit PTGS2 proteins, respectively. Human PTGS2 is expressed in a limited number of cell types and regulated by specific stimulatory events, suggesting that it is responsible for the prostanoid biosynthesis involved in inflammation and mitogenesis. The expression of this gene is deregulated in epithelial tumors. May have a role as a major mediator of inflammation and/or a role for prostanoid signaling in activity-dependent plasticity.
