Protein function: Catalyzes the biosynthesis and metabolism of eicosanoids. Catalyzes the isomerization of prostaglandin H2 to prostacyclin (= prostaglandin I2), a potent mediator of vasodilation and inhibitor of platelet aggregation. Additionally, displays dehydratase activity, toward hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoates...

PGIS catalyzes the isomerization of PGH2 to PGI2. PGI2 (prostacyclin) is a potent vasodilator and inhibitor of platelet aggregation. PGIS is a membrane-bound hemoprotein localized primarily in endothelial cells. The cloned bovine and human enzymes contain 500 amino acids and a calculated molecular mass of 56,629 and...

Protein function: Catalyzes the isomerization of prostaglandin H2 to prostacyclin (= prostaglandin I2). [The UniProt Consortium]

Primers are provided as a 40 µl solution containing both primers at a final concentration of 50 µM in 10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5), 0.1 mM EDTA. Dilute with water as needed prior to use. This amount is sufficient for 1000 x 20µl PCR reactions assuming a final primer concentration of 0.1 µM. Add cDNA template....
