15-hydroxyprostaglandin-D dehydrogenase (NADP+)
class of enzymes
In enzymology, 15-hydroxyprostaglandin-D dehydrogenase (NADP+) (EC 1.1.1.196) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are prostaglandin D2 and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+). Its products are 15-dehydro-prostaglandin D2, reduced NADPH, and a proton.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (5Z,13E)-(15S)-9alpha,15-dihydroxy-11-oxoprosta-5,13-dienoate:NADP+ 15-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include prostaglandin-D 15-dehydrogenase (NADP+), dehydrogenase, prostaglandin D2, NADP+-PGD2 dehydrogenase, dehydrogenase, 15-hydroxyprostaglandin (nicotinamide adenine, dinucleotide phosphate), 15-hydroxy PGD2 dehydrogenase, 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (NADP+), NADP+-dependent 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase, prostaglandin D2 dehydrogenase, NADP+-linked 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase, NADP+-specific 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase, NADP+-linked prostaglandin D2 dehydrogenase, and 15-hydroxyprostaglandin-D dehydrogenase (NADP+). This enzyme participates in arachidonic acid metabolism.
The public source identifies “15-hydroxyprostaglandin-D dehydrogenase (NADP+)” as class of enzymes. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around 15-hydroxyprostaglandin-D, dehydrogenase and NADP.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “15-hydroxyprostaglandin-D dehydrogenase (NADP+)”, the useful work is to connect “class of enzymes” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 11, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q1148966. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
