    Glossary Lipocalin-type Prostaglandin D Synthase

    enzyme involved in producing prostaglandin D2, affecting sleep and hair growth

    Lipocalin-type Prostaglandin D Synthase (L-PGDS) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the production of prostaglandin D2, a compound involved in various physiological processes such as sleep regulation, inflammation, and hair growth. Also known as Beta-trace protein, L-PGDS is found in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid, and its levels can be used as a biomarker for certain neurological conditions.
