A convenient and reliable assay is described for PGEP synthetase, the rate-limiting enzyme determining the total capacity for biosynthesis of prostaglandin-related compounds. Results of such assays, performed withe fresh specimens under both field and laboratory conditions, newly identify several marine coelenterate species as potentially important resources of PGRCs for research and possible development. Properties of the typical marine coelenterate PGEP synthetase, and the reaction which this enzyme catalyzes, have been further characterized.
本文描述了一种便捷可靠的前列腺素E合成酶（PGEP synthetase）检测方法，该酶是决定前列腺素相关化合物生物合成总能力的限速酶。在野外和实验室条件下，使用新鲜标本进行此类检测的结果，新发现了几种海洋腔肠动物物种，它们有可能成为用于研究和可能开发的前列腺素相关化合物（PGRCs）的重要资源。典型海洋腔肠动物PGEP合成酶的特性以及该酶催化的反应已得到进一步表征。
