EC 1.1.1.189

Accepted name: prostaglandin-E2 9-reductase

Reaction: (5Z,13E)-(15S)-9α,11α,15-trihydroxyprosta-5,13-dienoate + NADP+ = (5Z,13E)-(15S)-11α,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5,13-dienoate + NADPH + H+

Other name(s): PGE2-9-OR; reductase, 15-hydroxy-9-oxoprostaglandin; 9-keto-prostaglandin E2 reductase; 9-ketoprostaglandin reductase; PGE-9-ketoreductase; PGE2 9-oxoreductase; PGE2-9-ketoreductase; prostaglandin 9-ketoreductase; prostaglandin E 9-ketoreductase; prostaglandin E2-9-oxoreductase

Systematic name: (5Z,13E)-(15S)-9α,11α,15-trihydroxyprosta-5,13-dienoate:NADP+ 9-oxidoreductase

Comments: Reduces prostaglandin E2 to prostaglandin F2α. A number of other 9-oxo- and 15-oxo-prostaglandin derivatives can also be reduced to the corresponding hydroxy compounds. May be identical with EC 1.1.1.197 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (NADP+).
