Recent Development in Imaging of COX
Journal Title: Medicinal & Analytical Chemistry International Journal - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Recent development in visualization of cyclooxygenase type2 (COX-2) expression using positron emission tomography (PET) has attracted a lot of attention. Cyclooxygenase catalyzes the conversion of arachidonic acid to form prostaglandins through functionally cooperative COX and peroxides (POX) enzymes. Comparing with the house keeping role played by homeostatic COX-1, COX-2 expression has been associated with the tumor progression and inflammation.
