On the other hand, prostaglandins differ from hormones in that they are not produced at a specific place but in many different places throughout the body. Also, the metabolic degradation of prostaglandins is very rapid.</span>
Scientists worked backwards by looking into the amino acid sequence to determine the DNA base. They started with the mRNA which transcribes the codon into respective amino acids. This human gene is found on top of chromosome 11 in human DNA.
