Return to overview

The COX enzyme possesses two isoforms, COX-1 and COX-2, of which both produce bioactive eicosanoids. The two isoforms have nearly identical active site residues (Simmons et al. 2004), but COX-1 is a constitutive enzyme, whereas COX-2 is an inducible enzyme. Both enzymes add molecular oxygen to arachidonic acid, generating an endoperoxide species, PGH2, by catalysing the two-step reaction of cycloooxygenation and oxygenation, followed by a hydroperoxide reduction.

PGH2 possesses a short life time due to the formation of a reactive functional group. The endoperoxide undergoes rapid isomerisation reactions, catalysed by a series of synthase enzymes (PGES, PGDS, PGIS, PGFS and TXAS). The resultant species of the isomerisation reactions are PGs (PGE2, PGD2, PGJ2, deoxy-PGJ2 and PGF2α), TXs (TXA2 and TXB2) and prostacyclin (PGI2), all of which have varying effects on the immune system.
