    GlossaryProstaglandin D2 Synthase (PTGDS)

    enzyme converting prostaglandin H2 to prostaglandin D2, linked to hair loss

    Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (PTGDS) is an enzyme that converts prostaglandin H2 into prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), a lipid compound involved in various physiological processes, including inflammation and allergic responses. In the context of hair biology, elevated levels of PGD2 have been linked to hair loss, particularly in conditions like androgenetic alopecia.
