Regulation of Cyclooxygenase-2 expression in human macrophages
High output of prostaglandins (PGs) are the hallmark of inflammatory and immune reactions. A rate-limiting step in the production of PGs is the presence of the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX). COX exists as two isoforms: COX-1 which is constitutively expressed in most cells and COX-2 which is inducible...
