GenAge entry for PTGS2 (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 198)

HGNC symbol
PTGS2 
Aliases
COX2 
Common name
prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (prostaglandin G/H synthase and cyclooxygenase) 

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on indirect or inconclusive evidence linking the gene product to ageing in humans or in one or more model systems
Description

PTGS2 may play a role in inflammation. PTGS2-null mice developed severe nephropathy [864] and female reproductive failures [1734]. Age-related changes in PTGS2 have been reported in various tissues in mice [863]. PTGS2 has not been directly related to human ageing.
