prostaglandin H2 endoperoxidase reductase activity

Definition

Target type: molecularfunction

Catalysis of the reaction: prostaglandin H2 + NADPH + H+ -> prostaglandin F2alpha + NADP+. This reaction is the reduction of prostaglandin H2 ((5Z,13E)-(15S)-9alpha,11alpha-Epidioxy-15-hydroxyprosta-5,13-dienoate) to prostaglandin F2alpha ((5Z,13E)-(15S)-9alpha,11alpha,15-Trihydroxyprosta-5,13-dienoate). [GOC:mw, KEGG_REACTION:R02264, PMID:10622721, PMID:14979715, PMID:16475787]

Prostaglandin H2 endoperoxidase reductase activity, also known as prostaglandin G/H synthase or cyclooxygenase (COX), is a crucial enzyme in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins. It catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandin H2 (PGH2), a key precursor for various prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and prostacyclins. This activity involves two distinct steps:

1. Cyclooxygenase activity: The enzyme binds arachidonic acid and uses molecular oxygen to introduce two oxygen atoms, forming prostaglandin G2 (PGG2). This step is characterized by the formation of a cyclic endoperoxide ring within the arachidonic acid molecule.
2. Peroxidase activity: The enzyme then reduces the hydroperoxide group of PGG2, yielding prostaglandin H2 (PGH2). This step involves the transfer of an electron from a reducing agent, typically glutathione, to the hydroperoxide group, forming a hydroxyl group.

The resulting PGH2 is a highly unstable molecule that serves as a substrate for various downstream enzymes, leading to the production of different prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and prostacyclins. These molecules play diverse physiological roles, including inflammation, pain, fever, blood clotting, and smooth muscle contraction.

Prostaglandin H2 endoperoxidase reductase activity is essential for maintaining normal physiological functions and is often targeted by various drugs. For example, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin and ibuprofen inhibit the cyclooxygenase activity of the enzyme, thereby reducing prostaglandin synthesis and alleviating pain and inflammation.

In conclusion, prostaglandin H2 endoperoxidase reductase activity is a vital enzymatic process responsible for the biosynthesis of a wide array of biologically active molecules, playing critical roles in various physiological processes. Its regulation and modulation are essential for maintaining health and combating disease.'

retinaldehydeall-trans-retinal : A retinal in which all four exocyclic double bonds have E- (trans-) geometry.

Retinaldehyde: A diterpene derived from the carotenoid VITAMIN A which functions as the active component of the visual cycle. It is the prosthetic group of RHODOPSIN (i.e., covalently bonded to ROD OPSIN as 11-cis-retinal). When stimulated by visible light, rhodopsin transforms this cis-isomer of retinal to the trans-isomer (11-trans-retinal). This transformation straightens-out the bend of the retinal molecule and causes a change in the shape of rhodopsin triggering the visual process. A series of energy-requiring enzyme-catalyzed reactions convert the 11-trans-retinal back to the cis-isomer.

vitamin B9 : Any B-vitamin that exhibits biological activity against vitamin B9 deficiency. Vitamin B9 refers to the many forms of folic acid and its derivatives, including tetrahydrofolic acid (the active form), methyltetrahydrofolate (the primary form found in blood), methenyltetrahydrofolate, folinic acid amongst others. They are present in abundance in green leafy vegetables, citrus fruits, and animal products. Lack of vitamin B9 leads to anemia, a condition in which the body cannot produce sufficient number of red blood cells. Symptoms of vitamin B9 deficiency include fatigue, muscle weakness, and pale skin.
