Application
Prostaglandin F synthase (PGF synthase) is a member of the aldo-keto reductase superfamily of proteins which catalyze the conversion of aldehydes and ketones to thier corresponding alcohols. Prostaglandin F synthase is used in cancer research since it is upregulated in many cancers such as breast and prostate cancer. PGF synthase is also used to study kidney and renal cell carcinoma .
Biochem/physiol Actions
PGF synthase catalyzes the conversions of 4-androstene-3,17-dione to testosterone, estrone to 17β-estradiol, prostaglandin H2 to PGF2α, and PGD2 to 9α,11β-PGF2. Prostaglandin (PG) F2 is synthesized via three pathways .

Prostate and breast cancer are hormone-dependent malignancies of the aging male and female and require the local production of androgens and estrogens to stimulate cell proliferation. Aldo-keto reductases (AKR) play key roles in this process. In the prostate, AKR1C3 (type

Oxytocin (OXT) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF) have been implicated in the control of luteolysis by stimulating endometrial secretion of luteolytic prostaglandin F(2α) (PGF(2α)). Nevertheless, OXT concentration in porcine uterine lumen increases markedly on days 11-12 of pregnancy, and

Old yellow enzyme (OYE) is an NADPH oxidoreductase which contains flavin mononucleotide as prosthetic group. The X-ray structures of OYE from Trypanosoma cruzi (TcOYE) which produces prostaglandin (PG) F(2α) from PGH(2) have been determined in the presence or absence of
