Enzyme qui permet la formation de prostaglandines à partir de l'acide arachidonique [un acide gras qui contribue à la fabrication des parois cellulaires]. 3, record 3, French, - cyclo%2Doxyg%C3%A9nase
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
La cyclo-oxygénase existe sous deux isoformes : la Cox1, isoforme constitutive de la plupart des tissus et la Cox2, isoforme inductible (par les cytokines, l'endotoxine et les mitogènes). Tous les A.I.N.S. [anti-inflammatoires non stéroïdiens] actuels sont spécifiques de la Cox1 et le rôle ubiquitaire des prostaglandines dans l'organisme (coagulation, bronchomotricité, filtration rénale, contractions utérines, neurotransmission chimique) explique les indications très variées des A.I.N.S., ainsi que la richesse de leurs effets indésirables. 4, record 3, French, - cyclo%2Doxyg%C3%A9nase
