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 (HPETEs), especially toward (15S)-hydroperoxy-(5Z,8Z,11Z,13E)-eicosatetraenoate (15(S)-HPETE).

Activity summary

The protein PTGIS also known as prostacyclin synthase (PGIS) is an enzyme involved in the conversion of prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) to prostacyclin (PGI2) a member of the prostaglandin family. It has a molecular mass of approximately 56 kDa. PTGIS is mainly expressed in vascular endothelial cells as well as in other tissues including heart kidney and lung. The protein is important for various physiological functions due to its enzymatic role in prostacyclin synthesis.

Biological function summary

PTGIS plays a role in vasodilation and inhibiting platelet aggregation. Prostacyclin the product of PTGIS activity functions as a potent vasodilator and inhibitor of platelet activation which are key processes for maintaining vascular health. PTGIS does not form part of a larger protein complex but works independently to generate its product PGI2. By performing these roles PTGIS contributes significantly to cardiovascular homeostasis.

Pathways

PTGIS is an important component of the prostaglandin biosynthesis pathway. This pathway is important for the formation of several types of prostaglandins which are involved in various aspects of inflammation and vascular function. PTGIS connects closely with cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes specifically COX-1 and COX-2 which generate PGH2 from arachidonic acid. The interaction with COX enzymes is necessary for the effective production of prostacyclin.

Associated diseases and disorders

PTGIS has implications in thrombotic diseases and pulmonary hypertension. The enzyme's role in inhibiting platelet aggregation makes it relevant in conditions where clot formation is a risk such as cardiovascular disorders. Its relation to pulmonary hypertension involves dysregulation of prostacyclin production which affects blood pressure in lung arteries. Additionally interactions with proteins like thromboxane synthase which counteracts the effects of prostacyclin are important for understanding the balance between factors promoting and inhibiting thrombosis in these conditions.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-PTGIS/PGIS antibody (ab23668)

    ab23668 (4μg/ml) staining PTGIS/PGIS in human adrenal gland using an automated system (DAKO Autostainer Plus). Using this protocol there is apical cytoplasmic/ endoplasmic reticulum staining.
    Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3 in 1 AR buffer EDTA pH 9.0 in a DAKO PT Link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 mins. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 min and detected with Dako Envision Flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with Diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that, for manual staining, optimization of primary antibody concentration and incubation time is recommended. Signal amplification may be required.
