Description
Exhibits peroxidase activity. Involved in animal organ development; cellular response to organic cyclic compound; and response to steroid hormone. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Barrett's esophagus; artery disease (multiple); arthritis (multiple); liver disease (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; digestive system; endoderm; gonad; and head. Orthologous to human PTGS2 (prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2).
