Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (prostaglandin G/H synthase and cyclooxygenase) (The HUGO official symbol is PTGS2; HGNC ID, HGNC:9605), also known as cyclooxygenase-2 or COX-2, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PTGS2 gene. In humans it is one of two cyclooxygenases. It is involved in the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin H2, an important precursor of prostacyclin and thromboxane A2, among others.

Human Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate PTGS2 in samples. An antibody specific for PTGS2 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyPTGS2 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for PTGS2 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of PTGS2 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
