| | ANTI-L-PGD SYNTHASE (HUMAN) Usage And Synthesis |
| Uses | All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.
The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

PTGDS belongs to the lipocalin ligand-carrier protein family. PTGDS is also called glutathione (GSH)- independent PGDS and is a brain type PGDS, which is found in rat brain, spinal cord, epididymis, cochlea, retina and is also found in extracellular space. In humans, PTGDS gene is located on the HSA9q34 loci of chromosome. | | Biochem/physiol Actions | PTGDS is an important enzyme in the arachidonic pathway where it converts prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) to PGD2. PTGDS also functions as a transporter, and it has been suggested that it transports ligands such as retinoic acid, gangliosides, bile pigments and amyloid β peptides. PTGDS is also responsible for the development of male reproducitve organs and the regulation of sleep, pain sensation and allergy. Mice with unilateral cryptorchidism with second phase of testicular decent are found to be homozygous or heterozygous PTGDS deficient. Expression of PTGDS is also found to vary between manic and depressive states in patients with rapid cycling bipolar disorder. It is also expressed differentially between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) patients and bipolar disorder patients. PTGDS is less expressed in patients with bipolar disorder than in ADHD patients. |
