Enables

This protein enables 7 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
DNA bindingmolecular functionAny molecular function by which a gene product interacts selectively and non-covalently with DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). [GOC:dph, GOC:jl, GOC:tb, GOC:vw]
protein bindingmolecular functionBinding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators]
lyase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the cleavage of C-C, C-O, C-N and other bonds by other means than by hydrolysis or oxidation, or conversely adding a group to a double bond. They differ from other enzymes in that two substrates are involved in one reaction direction, but only one in the other direction. When acting on the single substrate, a molecule is eliminated and this generates either a new double bond or a new ring. [ISBN:0198547684]
heme bindingmolecular functionBinding to a heme, a compound composed of iron complexed in a porphyrin (tetrapyrrole) ring. [GOC:ai]
12-hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid synthase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the reaction: prostaglandin H2 = 12-hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid (HHT) + malonaldehyde (MDA). [GOC:mw, PMID:11297515]
glutathione bindingmolecular functionBinding to glutathione; a tripeptide composed of the three amino acids cysteine, glutamic acid and glycine. [GOC:bf, ISBN:0198506732]
prostaglandin-E synthase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the reaction: prostaglandin H(2) = prostaglandin E(2). [EC:5.3.99.3, RHEA:12893]

Located In

This protein is located in 7 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
Golgi membranecellular componentThe lipid bilayer surrounding any of the compartments of the Golgi apparatus. [GOC:mah]
extracellular regioncellular componentThe space external to the outermost structure of a cell. For cells without external protective or external encapsulating structures this refers to space outside of the plasma membrane. This term covers the host cell environment outside an intracellular parasite. [GOC:go_curators]
nucleuscellular componentA membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent. [GOC:go_curators]
mitochondrioncellular componentA semiautonomous, self replicating organelle that occurs in varying numbers, shapes, and sizes in the cytoplasm of virtually all eukaryotic cells. It is notably the site of tissue respiration. [GOC:giardia, ISBN:0198506732]
cytosolcellular componentThe part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes. [GOC:hjd, GOC:jl]
azurophil granule lumencellular componentThe volume enclosed by the membrane of an azurophil granule, a primary lysosomal granule found in neutrophil granulocytes that contains a wide range of hydrolytic enzymes and is released into the extracellular fluid. [GOC:bf, PMID:17152095]
perinuclear region of cytoplasmcellular componentCytoplasm situated near, or occurring around, the nucleus. [GOC:jid]

Involved In

This protein is involved in 4 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
lipid metabolic processbiological processThe chemical reactions and pathways involving lipids, compounds soluble in an organic solvent but not, or sparingly, in an aqueous solvent. Includes fatty acids; neutral fats, other fatty-acid esters, and soaps; long-chain (fatty) alcohols and waxes; sphingoids and other long-chain bases; glycolipids, phospholipids and sphingolipids; and carotenes, polyprenols, sterols, terpenes and other isoprenoids. [GOC:ma]
cyclooxygenase pathwaybiological processThe chemical reactions and pathways by which prostaglandins are formed from arachidonic acid, and in which prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (cyclooxygenase) catalyzes the committed step in the conversion of arachidonic acid to the prostaglandin-endoperoxides PGG2 and PGH2. [PMID:19854273]
positive regulation of DNA-templated transcriptionbiological processAny process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of cellular DNA-templated transcription. [GOC:go_curators, GOC:txnOH]
secretionbiological processThe controlled release of a substance by a cell or a tissue. [GOC:ai]
