Description: Cyclooxygenase (Cox) is the key enzyme in conversion of arachidonic acid to PGs, and two isoforms, Cox-1 and Cox-2, have been identified. Cox-2 gene encodes an inducible prostaglandin synthase enzyme that is overexpressed in adenocarcinomas and other tumors. Deletion of the murine Cox-2 gene in Min mice reduced the incidence of intestinal tumors, suggesting that it is required for tumorigenesis. This gene is localized to sites associated with retinal blood vessels, and plays an important role in blood vessel formation in the retina. And the glucocorticoid receptor suppression of COX-2 is also crucial for curtailing lethal immune activation, and suggests new therapeutic approaches for regulation of T-cell-mediated inflammatory diseases.

Immunogen: Amino acids 365-397 (AEFNTLYHWHPLLPDTFQIHDQKYNYQQFIYNN) from the human protein were used as the immunogen for the PTGS2 antibody.

Storage: After reconstitution, the PTGS2 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
