Prostaglandin-H2 D-isomerase (PTGDS) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PTGDS gene.[5][6]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a glutathione-independent prostaglandin D synthase that catalyzes the conversion of

androgenetic alopecia).[7]

Clinical use

Prostaglandin D2 synthase is used clinically as a diagnostic marker for

head trauma
severity. In a medical context, the older term "beta-trace protein" is frequently used to refer to PTGDS.
