15-oxoprostaglandin E1
 

The two substrates of this enzyme are prostaglandin E1 and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+). Its products are 15-oxoprostaglandin E1, reduced NADPH, and proton.[1][2][3]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (13E)-(15S)-11alpha,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprost-13-enoate:NADP+ 15-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include NADP+-dependent 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase, NADP+-linked 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase, NADP+-specific 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase, type II 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase, and 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (NADP+).

Structural studies

As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 2PFG.
