It is known that PGE synthase, also known as prostaglandin E synthase, is made up of a group of at least three structurally and biologically distinct enzymes. PGE synthase converts prostaglandin H2 (PGH2), which is produced by cyclooxygenase (COX), to PGE2. PGES that are associated with membranes include mPGES-1, mPGES-2, and cytosolic PGES (cPGES).
Perinuclear mPGES-1 is a protein that, like COX-2, is markedly upregulated by proinflammatory stimuli and downregulated by anti-inflammatory glucocorticoids. It has a clear functional preference for COX-2 over COX-1. The Golgi membrane-associated protein mPGES-2 is synthesized, and the N-terminal hydrophobic domain is removed by proteolysis to create a mature cytosolic enzyme. This enzyme is functionally coupled with both COX-1 and COX-2 and is expressed rather constitutively in a variety of cells and tissues. cPGES is functionally linked to COX-1 to encourage immediate PGE2 production, and it is constitutively expressed in a wide range of cell types.
