| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables prostaglandin-D synthase activity. Involved in prostaglandin biosynthetic process; regulation of fever generation; and sensory perception of pain. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of cell population proliferation; positive regulation of prostaglandin secretion; and prostaglandin metabolic process. Located in cytoplasm and nuclear envelope lumen. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PTGES (prostaglandin E synthase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice are fertile and display a decreased inflammatory response. Mice homozygous for a conditional allele activated in the vascular smooth muscle, endothelial or myeloid cells exhibit altered response to vascular injury. [provided by MGI curators] |
