Purified prostaglandin H synthase contains cyclooxygenase activity that forms the hydroperoxide, prostaglandin G and peroxidase activity which removes hydroperoxides. Since hydroperoxides are necessary activators of cyclooxygenase activity, the paradoxical presence of 2 apparently opposing activities requires careful interpretation. Kinetic studies indicate that the concentration of hydroperoxide needed for full cyclooxygenase activity is much less than that which gives 50% effectiveness with the peroxidase. Thus, the peroxidase activity of the synthase is very ineffective in decreasing the hydroperoxide concentration below levels that still permit rapid cyclooxygenase action.
