- Either of two related enzymes that control the production of prostaglandins and are blocked by aspirin
- Cyclooxygenase (COX) is an enzyme that is responsible for formation of important biological mediators called prostanoids, including prostaglandins, prostacyclin and thromboxane. Pharmacological inhibition of COX can provide relief from the symptoms of inflammation and pain. ...
- An enzyme, also known as COX, that makes prostaglandins from a molecule called arachidonic acid; the molecular target of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
- An enzyme that plays a pivotal role in the synthesis of prostaglandins.
- An enzyme involved in oxygen metabolism. Cyclooxygenase is part of the pathway that mediates bodily response to infection and injury (e.g., inflammation and pain) via substances such as histamine and prostaglandins.
- Enzyme complex present in most tissues that produces various prostaglandins and thromboxanes from arachidonic acid, inhibited by aspirin like drugs, probably accounting for their anti-inflammatory effects.
- Cyclooxygenase is an enzyme that controls production of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid, a fatty acid that helps make up cell walls. Prostaglandins are hormone-like chemicals made of amino acids that are involved in many normal body activities.
- Enzyme involved in prostaglandin synthesis; there are two isoforms: COX-1 and COX-2.
- Refers to a particular enzyme involved in the formation of prostaglandins in the body. These may be important in the natural physiology in a particular organ or cell, or may be involved in the formation of prostaglandins that induces inflammation in a joint, in which case it may be detrimental.
