Metabolite Identification
Common NameProstaglandin G2
DescriptionProstaglandin G2 is a member of the eicosanoid chemical class, specifically categorized as a prostaglandin. It is synthesized from arachidonic acid through the action of cyclooxygenase enzymes, particularly COX-2, which catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandin G2, a precursor to other prostaglandins. The chemical structure of prostaglandin G2 features a cyclopentane ring with two double bonds and various functional groups that contribute to its biological activity. Prostaglandin G2 is involved in several biochemical pathways, including inflammation and lipid metabolism. For instance, it has been shown to upregulate genes associated with hepatic lipogenesis and inflammation, such as FASN, ACACA, and NF-κB1/2 (PMID:41154497 ). Additionally, it is implicated in the response to infections, as its levels rise in the presence of inflammatory mediators during conditions like E. coli infection (PMID:39707535 ). Moreover, prostaglandin G2 has been correlated with gut microbiota dynamics and is part of metabolic pathways related to steroid hormone biosynthesis and fatty acid metabolism (PMID:38009670 ). Its role in mediating pain and fever further underscores its significance in physiological processes (PMID:37727526 ).
