Prostaglandin H2 is a type of prostaglandin and a precursor for many other biologically significant molecules. It is synthesized from arachidonic acid in a reaction catalyzed by a cyclooxygenase enzyme.^[1]

Eicosanoid synthesis - prostaglandin H2 near center

It is acted upon by:

• Prostacyclin synthase to create prostacyclin
• Thromboxane-A synthase to create thromboxane A2 and 12-(S)-hydroxy-5Z,8E,10E-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT) (see 12-Hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid)
• Prostaglandin D2 synthase to create prostaglandin D2
• Prostaglandin E synthase to create prostaglandin E2

It rearranges non-enzymatically to:

• A mixture of 12-(S)-hydroxy-5Z,8E,10E-heptadecatrienoic acid (HHT) and 12-(S)-hydroxy-5Z,8Z,10E-heptadecatrienoic acid (see 12-Hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid)
