Activating Compound

EC Number Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
5.3.99.4 additional information the extent of prostaglandin I2 production is determined by an appropriate ratio of COX-1/COX-2 to PGIS. Human vascular endothelial cells transfected with a construct that contains COX-1 and prostaglandin-I synthase cDNAs have an equivalent increase in COX-1 and PGIS, and produce a large quantity of prostaglandin-I synthase which is more than 200fold over that produced by untransfected cells Homo sapiens

Application

EC Number Application Comment Organism
5.3.99.4 medicine overexpression of PGIS is highly effective in controlling vascular diseases and ischemia-reperfusion tissue injury, gene transfer of bicistronic COX-1/PGIS has the potential for treatment of diverse clinical disorders including vascular diseases, pulmonary hypertension, and ischemia-reperfusion cerebral and cardiac injury Homo sapiens
