Biological function summary
COX-1 is involved in producing prostaglandins that regulate a variety of normal physiological processes including gastric mucosal protection renal blood flow and platelet aggregation. Unlike COX-2 COX-1 is not induced by inflammatory stimuli and is not part of an inducible complex. It serves to maintain essential physiological functions in various organs and systems making its activity critical for cellular maintenance.
Pathways
COX-1 is primarily involved in the prostaglandin biosynthesis pathway. It converts arachidonic acid into prostaglandin H2 a precursor for other prostaglandins and thromboxanes. Thromboxane A2 produced from this pathway plays an important role in platelet aggregation and vasoconstriction linking COX-1's functions with hemostatic processes. Another protein involved in this pathway is thromboxane synthase which further processes the products of COX-1 activity.
