Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable oxidoreductase activity, acting on single donors with incorporation of molecular oxygen, incorporation of two atoms of oxygen and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase activity. Acts upstream of or within prostaglandin biosynthetic process; regulation of blood pressure; and regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in cytoplasm and photoreceptor outer segment. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early embryo; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study pre-eclampsia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Orthologous to human PTGS1 (prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 1).
