Mutation of a Critical Arginine in Microsomal Prostaglandin E Synthase-1 Shifts the Isomerase Activity to a Reductase Activity That Converts Prostaglandin H(2) into Prostaglandin F(2α)

Microsomal prostaglandin E synthase type 1 (mPGES-1) converts prostaglandin endoperoxides, generated from arachidonic acid by cyclooxygenases, into prostaglandin E(2). This enzyme belongs to the membrane-associated proteins in eicosanoid and glutathione metabolism (MAPEG) family of integral membrane...
