This gene encodes a member of the short-chain nonmetalloenzyme alcohol dehydrogenase protein family. The encoded enzyme is responsible for the metabolism of prostaglandins, which function in a variety of physiologic and cellular processes such as inflammation. Mutations in this gene result in primary autosomal recessive hypertrophic osteoarthropathy and cranioosteoarthropathy. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
A study in mice demonstrated that the HPGD gene was downregulated in common in spleen leukocytes across all three injury models of trauma/hemorrhage, burn, and LPS infusion, indicating its role as part of a common early transcriptional response to systemic inflammation [Brownstein et al. DOI:10.1152/physiolgenomics.00213.2005]. In human burn injury patients, the HPGD was identified as one of 19 center genes commonly differentially expressed across early-stage, middle-stage, and control blood sample comparisons, associating it with burn injury progression [Wu et al. DOI:10.007/s10753-018-0829-0].
