Summary
Prostaglandin-D synthase is a sigma class glutathione-S-transferase family member. The enzyme catalyzes the conversion of PGH2 to PGD2 and plays a role in the production of prostanoids in the immune system and mast cells. The presence of this enzyme can be used to identify the differentiation stage of human megakaryocytes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Comments

Comment Type Description
Biophysicochemical Properties Kinetic parameters: KM=8 mM for glutathione for the glutathione-conjugating activity {ECO
Catalytic Activity (5Z,13E,15S)-9-alpha,11-alpha-epidioxy-15- hydroxyprosta-5,13-dienoate = (5Z,13E,15S)-9-alpha,15-dihydroxy- 11-oxoprosta-5,13-dienoate.
Catalytic Activity RX + glutathione = HX + R-S-glutathione.
Cofactor Name=glutathione; Xref=ChEBI
Developmental Stage Highest levels in immature megakaryocytic cells. Disappears after final differentiation to platelets.
Enzyme Regulation Prostaglandin PGD2 synthesis is stimulated by calcium and magnesium ions. One calcium or magnesium ion is bound between the subunits of the homodimer. The interactions with the protein are for the most part mediated via water molecules. Magnesium increases the affinity for glutathione, while calcium has no effect on the affinity for glutathione.
Function Bifunctional enzyme which catalyzes both the conversion of PGH2 to PGD2, a prostaglandin involved in smooth muscle contraction/relaxation and a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation, and the conjugation of glutathione with a wide range of aryl halides and organic isothiocyanates. Also exhibits low glutathione-peroxidase activity towards cumene hydroperoxide. {ECO
Induction By 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA).
Similarity Belongs to the GST superfamily. Sigma family.
Similarity Contains 1 GST C-terminal domain.
Similarity Contains 1 GST N-terminal domain.
Subcellular Location Cytoplasm .
Subunit Homodimer. {ECO
Tissue Specificity Expressed in a number of megakaryocytic cell lines but not in platelets. Highly expressed in adipose tissue, macrophages and placenta. Also expressed at lower levels in lung, heart, lymph nodes, appendix, bone marrow and fetal liver. {ECO
