Prostaglandin H2 is a type of Prostaglandin which is derived from arachidonic acid and is a precursor for many other biologically significant molecules.

Eicosanoid synthesis. (Prostaglandin H2 near center.)

Figure 1: Synthetic pathways from PGH₂ (the parent compound) to prostaglandins, prostacyclin and thromboxanes.

It is acted upon by:

• prostacyclin synthase to create prostacyclin
• thromboxane-A synthase to create thromboxane A2
• prostaglandin D2 synthase to create prostaglandin D2
• Prostaglandin E synthase to create prostaglandin E2
