[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PTGDS_MOUSE PTGDS_MOUSE]] Catalyzes the conversion of PGH2 to PGD2, a prostaglandin involved in smooth muscle contraction/relaxation and a potent inhibitor of platelet aggregation. Involved in a variety of CNS functions, such as sedation, NREM sleep and PGE2-induced allodynia, and may have an anti-apoptotic role in oligodendrocytes. Binds small non-substrate lipophilic molecules, including biliverdin, bilirubin, retinal, retinoic acid and thyroid hormone, and may act as a scavenger for harmful hydrophopic molecules and as a secretory retinoid and thyroid hormone transporter. Possibly involved in development and maintenance of the blood-brain, blood-retina, blood-aqueous humor and blood-testis barrier. It is likely to play important roles in both maturation and maintenance of the central nervous system and male reproductive system.<ref>PMID:8922532</ref> <ref>PMID:9892701</ref> <ref>PMID:10781097</ref> <ref>PMID:11751991</ref> <ref>PMID:12077186</ref> <ref>PMID:17715133</ref> <ref>PMID:19546224</ref> <ref>PMID:19833210</ref>
