OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes an enzyme involved in the metabolism of prostaglandins. The encoded protein catalyzes the NADPH-dependent conversion of 15-keto-prostaglandin E2 to 15-keto-13,14-dihydro-prostaglandin E2. This protein may also be involved in regulating activation of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads PTGR2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against PTGR2 could matter depends on whether native PTGR2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

PTGR2 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label PTGR2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
