cyclooxygenase

In enzyme|lang=en terms the difference between cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase

is that cyclooxygenase is (enzyme) any of several enzymes that catalyze the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins; their inhibition is the mode of action of aspirin and ibuprofen while lipoxygenase is (enzyme) any of a class of enzymes that catalyse the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids.

In enzyme|lang=en terms the difference between cycloxygenase and cyclooxygenase

is that cycloxygenase is (enzyme) an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of prostanoids while cyclooxygenase is (enzyme) any of several enzymes that catalyze the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins; their inhibition is the mode of action of aspirin and ibuprofen.

As nouns the difference between cycloxygenase and cyclooxygenase

As nouns the difference between cyclooxygenase and epoxygenase

is that cyclooxygenase is (enzyme) any of several enzymes that catalyze the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins; their inhibition is the mode of action of aspirin and ibuprofen while epoxygenase is (biochemistry) an enzyme that produces hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (hetes) and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (eets) from arachidonic acid, causing effects such as cell proliferation and decrease in cyclooxygenase activity.

As nouns the difference between cyclooxygenase and isoprostane

is that cyclooxygenase is (enzyme) any of several enzymes that catalyze the conversion of arachidonic acid into prostaglandins; their inhibition is the mode of action of aspirin and ibuprofen while isoprostane is (biochemistry) any of various prostaglandin-like compounds formed in vivo from the free radical-catalyzed peroxidation of essential fatty acids (primarily arachidonic acid) without the direct action of cyclooxygenase enzyme.
