C-terminal, alpha helical domain of microsomal Prostaglandin E synthase Type 2. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) C-terminal domain family, microsomal Prostaglandin E synthase Type 2 (mPGES2) subfamily; mPGES2 is a membrane-anchored dimeric protein containing a CXXC motif which catalyzes the isomerization of PGH2 to PGE2. Unlike cytosolic PGE synthase (cPGES) and microsomal PGES Type 1 (mPGES1), mPGES2 does not require glutathione (GSH) for its activity, although its catalytic rate is increased two- to four-fold in the presence of DTT, GSH, or other thiol compounds. PGE2 is widely distributed in various tissues and is implicated in the sleep/wake cycle, relaxation/contraction of smooth muscle, excretion of sodium ions, maintenance of body temperature, and mediation of inflammation. mPGES2 contains an N-terminal hydrophobic domain which is membrane associated and a C-terminal soluble domain with a GST-like structure. The C-terminal GST-like domain contains two structural domains, an N-terminal thioredoxin-fold domain and a C-terminal alpha helical domain. The GST active site is located in a cleft between the two structural domains.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.
Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:
