ID Q9N0A4; PN Prostaglandin E synthase 2 truncated form; GN PTGES2; OS 9541; SL Nucleus Position: SL-0198; SL Comments: Golgi apparatus membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9H7Z7}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9H7Z7}. [Prostaglandin E synthase 2 truncated form]: Cytoplasm, perinuclear region {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9H7Z7}. Note=Synthesized as a Golgi membrane-bound protein, which is further cleaved into the predominant soluble truncated form. The truncated form is cytoplasmic and is enriched in the perinuclear region. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9H7Z7}. DR UNIPROT: Q9N0A4; DR UNIPROT: Q5DI73; DR PDB: 1Z9H; DR PDB: 2PBJ; DR Pfam: PF13417; DR PROSITE: PS00195; DR PROSITE: PS51354; DR PROSITE: PS50405; DE Function: Isomerase that catalyzes the conversion of PGH2 into the more stable prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (in vitro) (PubMed:11866447, PubMed:23426368). The biological function and the GSH-dependent property of PTGES2 is still under debate (PubMed:23426368). In vivo, PTGES2 could form a complex with GSH and heme and would not participate in PGE2 synthesis but would catalyze the degradation of prostaglandin E2 H2 (PGH2) to 12(S)-hydroxy-5(Z),8(E),10(E)-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) (PubMed:23426368). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11866447, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426368}.
