Background InformationProstaglandin-H2 D-isomerase (PTGDS), also known the Lipocalin-type prostaglandin-D synthase, catalyzes the conversion of PGH2 to PGD2. PTGDS serves both as a PGD2-synthesizing enzyme and as an extracellular transporter of various lipophilic small molecules. It is the only enzyme in the lipocalin type protein family, members of which mainly act as binding proteins. It has been shown to bind various small, lipophilic compounds such as retinoic acid, biliverdin, bilirubin, retinoic acid, and thyroid hormone and may act as a scavenger for harmful hydrophobic molecules. In cells it is localized in the endoplasm reticulum, golgi apparatus, cell membrane, and is also secreted. PTGDS is involved in several central nervous system functions, such as sedation, pain regulation and non-rapid eye movement sleep. It is suggested to be involved in development and maintenance of the blood-brain, blood-retina, and blood-aqueous humor barriers and may also play a role in maturation and maintenance of the central nervous system.
