| Terminal enzyme of the cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-mediated prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) biosynthetic pathway (PubMed:10869354, PubMed:11795891). Catalyzes the glutathione-dependent oxidoreduction of prostaglandin endoperoxide H2 (PGH2) to prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in response to inflammatory stimuli (PubMed:11795891, PubMed:10869354). Plays a key role in inflammation response, fever and pain (PubMed:12835414, PubMed:14566340). Catalyzes also the oxidoreduction of endocannabinoids into prostaglandin glycerol esters and PGG2 into 15-hydroperoxy-PGE2. In addition, displays low glutathione transferase and glutathione-dependent peroxidase activities, toward 1-chloro-2,4- dinitrobenzene and 5-hydroperoxyicosatetraenoic acid (5-HPETE), respectively (By similarity). {By SimilarityUniProtKB:O14684, Experimental EvidencePubMed:10869354, Experimental EvidencePubMed:11795891, Experimental EvidencePubMed:12835414, Experimental EvidencePubMed:14566340}. | Assigned Ontology terms |
