Urogenital distribution of a mouse membrane-associated prostaglandin E<sub>2</sub>synthase
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PGE(2) plays a critical role in regulating renal function and facilitating reproduction. One of the rate-limiting biosynthetic enzymes in PGE(2) synthesis is the terminal PGE(2) synthase (PGES). In the present studies, we report the functional expression of a membrane-associated murine PGES (mPGES) and its expression in urogenital tissues. Two independent cDNA clones sharing an identical open reading frame of 459 bp and encoding a peptide of 153 amino acids, but differing in the 3'-untranslated region, were identified. Assays for enzymatic activity, using microsomes prepared from cells transfected with mPGES cDNA, showed that these cDNA sequences encode a functional protein that catalyzes the conversion of PGH(2) to PGE(2). Constitutive expression of mPGES was highest in the mouse kidney, ovary, and urinary bladder but was also expressed at lower levels in uterus and testis. Renal mPGES expression was predominantly localized to epithelia of distal tubules and medullary collecting ducts. High expression was also seen in transitional epithelial cells of bladder and ureter and in the primary and secondary follicles in the ovary. In conclusion, mPGES is constitutively expressed along the urogenital tract, where it may have important roles in normal physiology and disease.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
