Related Product Information for PTGR2 recombinant protein
Description: PTGR2 Human Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 375 amino acids (1-351) and having a molecular mass of 41.1kDa.PTGR2 is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: Prostaglandin Reductase 2 (PTGR2) is a member of the medium-chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily. PTGR2 is an enzyme involved in the metabolism of prostaglandins. PTGR2 catalyzes an NADPH-dependent reduction of the conjugated alpha, beta-unsaturated double bond of 15-keto-PGE(2), which is a fundamental step in terminal inactivation of prostaglandins and suppression of PPARgamma-mediated adipocyte differentiation. Selective inhibition of PTGR2 may be a factor in the improvement of insulin sensitivity with fewer side effects. PTGR2 may also be involved in controlling activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor.
Product Categories/Family for PTGR2 recombinant protein
NCBI Description
This gene encodes an enzyme involved in the metabolism of prostaglandins. The encoded protein catalyzes the NADPH-dependent conversion of 15-keto-prostaglandin E2 to 15-keto-13,14-dihydro-prostaglandin E2. This protein may also be involved in regulating activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Uniprot Description
PTGR2: Functions as 15-oxo-prostaglandin 13-reductase and acts on 15-keto-PGE1, 15-keto-PGE2, 15-keto-PGE1-alpha and 15-keto- PGE2-alpha with highest activity towards 15-keto-PGE2. Overexpression represses transcriptional activity of PPARG and inhibits adipocyte differentiation. Belongs to the NADP-dependent oxidoreductase L4BD family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Oxidoreductase; EC 1.3.1.48
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 14q24.3
Cellular Component: cytoplasm
Molecular Function: 15-oxoprostaglandin 13-oxidase activity; zinc ion binding
Biological Process: prostaglandin metabolic process

It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of
"Prostaglandin Reductase 2, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of
the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always
suggest centrifuging these vials
to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to
opening. Please be advised that
certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an
additional dry ice fee may also be
required.
