Cyclooxygenase (COX), also known as
Cyclooxygenase (COX), also known as prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase (PTGS), is an enzyme that plays a critical role in the production of prostaglandins, which are important for a variety of physiological processes including inflammation, pain, and fever. COX exists in two isoforms, COX-1 and COX-2, each of which has distinct roles in the body. COX-1 is involved in the production of prostaglandins that help maintain normal physiological functions, while COX-2 is primarily responsible for the production of prostaglandins that promote inflammation and pain. Inhibitors of COX, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, are commonly used as pain relievers and anti-inflammatory agents. Understanding the functions of COX and its isoforms is crucial for the development of new drugs and treatments for various medical conditions. In this video, we will explore the role of COX in the body and its significance in human health.
