Prostaglandin H2 is a type of Prostaglandin which is derived from arachidonic acid and is a precursor for many other biologically significant molecules:
It is acted upon by:
- prostacyclin synthase to create prostacyclin
- thromboxane-A synthase to create thromboxane A2
- prostaglandin D2 synthase to create prostaglandin D2
- Prostaglandin E synthase to create prostaglandin E2
