Uniprot: Converts arachidonate to prostaglandin H2 (PGH2), a committed step in prostanoid synthesis. Involved in the constitutive production of prostanoids in particular in the stomach and platelets. In gastric epithelial cells, it is a key step in the generation of prostaglandins, such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), which p more..

Function 1: Heme-dependant peroxidase.

Function 2: Cyclooxygenase. Both isozymes known to have the dual function. Condition: for the cyclooxygenase activities of PGHS-1 and PGHS-2 to function, the heme group at the peroxidase site must undergo a lipid peroxide-dependent oxidation.
