In human macrophages, protectin conjugate in tissue regeneration 3 (PCTR2) is proposed to be hydrolysed to PCTR3 (16-cysteinyl, 17-hydroxy-docosahexaenoic acid) by the actions of a glutathione transferase (GGT). Human macrophages incubated with E. coli and a GGT inhibitor led to increased levels of PCTR1 and decreased levels of PCTR3, suggesting a role for GGT enzyme in PCTR2 and PCTR3 biosynthesis (Dalli et al. 2015).
