Prostaglandin G/H synthase 1 (PTGS1)/Cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) is an enzyme that is expressed in the stomach, kidney and platelets. This gene is located on human chromosome 9q32−q33.3 and has 11 exons.
Immunogen
thromboxane B2-BSA.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1/PTGS1) helps to convert arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2. It plays an important role in inflammation, pain, arthritic disease and cancer. PTGS1 helps to maintain renal blood flow and modulates platelet aggregation. It also protects gastric mucosa.
Physical form
The product is provided as a pre-diluted antiserum that has been lyophilized from a solution containing 0.01% sodium azide as a preservative.
Reconstitution
For a working dilution of 1:10, reconstitute with 5 mL buffer containing 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, 0.1% bovine serum albumin, and 0.1% sodium azide.
Storage and Stability
Prior to reconstitution, store at 2-8 °C. After reconstitution: 1. Stock Solution: Separate into aliquots and freeze. Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended 2. Working Solution: Discard if unused within 12 hours.
Analysis Note
Tests per vial and specificity are determined using a dextran coated charcoal radioimmunoassay (RIA).

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) cause gastrointestinal damage by a non-prostaglandin (PG) dependent "topical" action and by inhibiting cyclooxygenase. To discriminate between these two effects by studying some key pathophysiological steps in NSAID enteropathy following administration of (R)- and (S)-flurbiprofen, the
The role of cyclooxygenase(COX)-1 and COX-2 in the saluretic and renin-angiotensin responses to loop diuretics in the cat is unknown. We propose in vivo characterisation of isoform roles in a furosemide model by administering non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with differing
