Acts on prostaglandin E2, F2alpha and B1, but not on prostaglandin D2. cf. EC 1.1.1.196 15-hydroxyprostaglandin-D dehydrogenase (NADP+) and EC 1.1.1.197 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (NADP+).

both 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase mRNA and protein levels are significantly higher in kidney cortex than in papilla. Enzyme is mainly localized to the tubular epithelial cells in kidney cortex and outer medulla
macula densa cell line, significantly lower enzyme levels than in a proximal tubule cell line. Treatment with an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase-2 increases enzyme level
expression in nontumorigenic IEC-18 cells, with and without K-RasV12 and analysis of the ability of cells to form tumors in nu/nu mice. Transformed cells show increased 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase activity with decreased prostaglandin E2 and prostaglandin I2 levels, cyclooxygenase-2 and microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 expression and proliferation rates. Xenografts of cells expressing both the enzyme and K-RasV12 exhibit delayed tumor formation with negligible cyclooxygenase-2 and microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 expression and significantly decreased prostaglandin E2 levels. Tumors have decreased staining of the proliferative marker, Ki-67, and a significant increase in apoptosis in the central region of the tumor
