摘要
COX-2 is involved in prostaglandin synthesis and expressed throughout the nervous system, where it participates in pain sensitivity and in synaptic plasticity. Microsomal prostaglandin E synthase, expressed throughout the nervous system microvasculature, may be another important player in neural aspects of the inflammatory response.
