Post-translational modification regulates prostaglandin D2 synthase apoptotic activity: characterization by site-directed mutagenesis.

Abstract excerpt

Lipocalin-type prostaglandin D(2) synthase (L-PGDS) is a highly glycosylated protein found in several body fluids. Elevated L-PGDS levels have been observed in the serum of patients with renal impairment, diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. Recently, we demonstrated the ability of L-PGDS to induce apoptosis in a variety of cell types including epithelial cells, neuronal cells, and vascular smooth muscle cells...
