Partially purified prostacyclin synthase from pig aorta converted the prostaglandin (PG) endoperoxide PGH2 to prostacyclin (PGI2), and PGH1 to 12-hydroxy-8,10-heptadecadienoic acid (HHD). Both reactions were inhibited by 15-hydroperoxy-5,8,11,13-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-HP) in a dose-dependent rashion. However, the reactions PGH2 leads to PGI2 and PGH1 leads to HHD appeared to differ: substrate availability was rate limiting in the latter reaction, while the enzyme became rapidly saturated witth PGH2 and a steady rate of prostacyclin formation was observed at higher substrate levels.
从猪主动脉中部分纯化得到的前列环素合酶可将前列腺素(PG)内过氧化物PGH2转化为前列环素(PGI2),并将PGH1转化为12-羟基-8,10-十七碳二烯酸(HHD)。这两种反应均受到15-氢过氧-5,8,11,13-二十碳四烯酸(15-HP)的剂量依赖性抑制。然而,PGH2转化为PGI2和PGH1转化为HHD的反应似乎有所不同:在后者反应中底物可用性是限速因素,而酶与PGH2迅速饱和,在较高底物水平下观察到前列环素形成的稳定速率。
