Illustration of the enzymes cyclooxygenase-1 (cox-1) and cyclooxygenase-2 (cox-2), with neurons (nerve cells) in the background.

Both are involved in neuroinflammatory processes and play a role in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Cox-1 and 2 are a targets for anti-inflammatory drugs.
