title: Preliminary profiles of 13,14-dihydroprostaglandin F2 alpha synthetase catalyzing conversion of 13,14-dihydro-15-ketoprostaglandin F2 alpha to 13,14-dihydroprostaglandin F2 alpha in rat ovary.
abstract: In the rat ovary 13,14-dihydroprostaglandin F2 alpha (13,14H2-PGF2 alpha) synthetase required NADPH much more than NADH as a co-factor. 13,14H2-PGF2 alpha synthetase activity was NADPH concentration-dependent and was significantly inhibited by NADP, in the presence of NADPH, by indomethacin and by oxidized glutathione.
