Protein: PTGIS_HUMAN

Prostacyclin synthase

FUNCTION: Catalyzes the isomerization of prostaglandin H2 to prostacyclin (= prostaglandin I2). CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: (5Z,13E)-(15S)-9-alpha,11-alpha-epidioxy-15- hydroxyprosta-5,13-dienoate = (5Z,13E)-(15S)-6,9-alpha-epoxy-11- alpha,15-dihydroxyprosta-5,13-dienoate. COFACTOR: Heme group (By similarity). more...
