SYNONYMS

INTRODUCTION
Prostaglandin Reductase 1 (PTGR1) is a member of the NADP-dependent oxidoreductase L4BD family. PTGR1 catalyzes the conversion of leukotriene B4 into its biologically less active metabolite, 12-oxo-leukotriene B4, thus being a primary step of metabolic inactivation of leukotriene B4. PTGR1 is highly expressed in the kidney, liver, and intestine but not in leukocytes.
DESCRIPTION
PTGR1 Human Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single polypeptide chain containing 354 amino acids (1-329) and having a molecular mass of 38.6kDa.
PTGR1 is fused to a 25 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
