Description

Prostaglandin E2 from Synthetic ≥99%, White Powder

• Prostaglandin E2 induces cervical ripening and parturition;
• mediates bradykinin-induced vasodilation.
• PGE2 is one of the primary cyclooxygenase products of arachidonic acid and one of the most widely investigated prostaglandins.
• Its activity influences inflammation, fertility and parturition, gastric mucosal integrity, and immune modulation.
• The effects of PGE2 are transduced by at least four distinct receptors designated EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4.
• Affinity constants (Kd) of PGE2 for these receptors range from 1-10 nM depending on the receptor subtype and tissue.
