Biological function summary
COX2 and COX1 help regulate processes like inflammation pain and fever through their role in prostaglandin synthesis. COX1 primarily maintains normal cellular processes while COX2 is highly inducible and becomes active during inflammatory responses. COX2 does not typically form complexes operating independently in the cellular environment to mediate inflammatory signals.
Pathways
COX2 and COX1 are key components in the prostaglandin biosynthetic pathway influencing pain and inflammatory pathways. Their activity affects the cyclooxygenase pathway important for converting arachidonic acid into prostaglandins and thromboxanes. COX enzymes interact closely with other proteins like prostaglandin synthases and thromboxane synthase which further modify their products into different prostaglandins and thromboxanes.
