...Esraa Saadi; Sharon Tal; Liza Barki-Harrington Catalysis of arachidonic acid (AA) by cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) gives rise to a single product that serves as a precursor for all prostaglandins, which are central mediators of inflammation. Rapid up-regulation of COX-2 expression in response to pro...

We tested the hypothesis that mammals and C. elegans may share similar basic mechanisms of CYP-dependent eicosanoid formation and action. We focused on CYP33E2, an isoform related to the human AA-epoxygenases CYP2C8 and CYP2J2. Co-expression of CYP33E2...
