19-hydroxyprostaglandins E1 and E2 (19OH-PGE1 and 2) are major components of human seminal fluid. The initial step in their formation is the 19-hydroxylation of prostaglandin H1 and H2 (PGH1 and 2). CYP4F8 performs this initial conversion (Bylund et al. 1999, 2000). The example of PGH2 is used here.
