Catalysis of the reaction: prostaglandin H(2) = prostaglandin D(2). [EC:5.3.99.2, RHEA:10600]
Prostaglandin-D synthase (PGDS) activity catalyzes the conversion of prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) to prostaglandin D2 (PGD2). This enzyme is a member of the glutathione S-transferase superfamily and utilizes glutathione as a cofactor in the reaction. PGDS activity is involved in a variety of physiological processes, including inflammation, pain, sleep, and allergic reactions. The enzyme plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of PGD2, which acts as a potent mediator of inflammation and is also involved in the regulation of sleep and wake cycles. PGDS activity is found in a variety of tissues, including the brain, mast cells, and immune cells. The enzyme is regulated by a variety of factors, including hormones, cytokines, and neurotransmitters.'
