Reaction: (13E)-(15S)-11α,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprost-13-enoate + NADP+ = (13E)-11α-hydroxy-9,15-dioxoprost-13-enoate + NADPH + H+
Other name(s): NADP-dependent 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase; NADP-linked 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase; NADP-specific 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase; type II 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase; 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (NADP)
Systematic name: (13E)-(15S)-11α,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprost-13-enoate:NADP+ 15-oxidoreductase
Comments: Acts on prostaglandins E2, F2α and B1, but not on prostaglandin D2 [cf. EC 1.1.1.141 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (NAD+) and EC 1.1.1.196 15-hydroxyprostaglandin-D dehydrogenase (NADP+)]. May be identical with EC 1.1.1.189 prostaglandin-E2 9-reductase.
